Reeder's Take

Panthers lose another linebacker for the season to torn ACL

December 13th, 2010, 11:08 am · Post a Comment · posted by sreed

The Carolina Panthers have lost yet another linebacker for the season as two-game starter Jason Williams suffered a torn ACL in his knee and will need surgery, according to a league source. The Panthers plan to put Williams on injured reserve today and sign another linebacker.

Williams actually tore his ACL in the third quarter of Carolina’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks but continued to play. Oddly enough, he even practiced with the team Wednesday, but later complained of some knee pain. He was limited in practice Thursday and the Panthers checked him out with an MRI, which surprisingly revealed a torn ACL.

Williams will become the fourth linebacker to be placed on injured reserve, joining Thomas Davis, Jamar Williams and Dan Connor.

Jordan Senn started in place of Williams at weak side linebacker on Sunday.
