Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin will miss the whole of the 2015 season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee this week.
The injury occurred during Wednesday's joint practice with the Miami Dolphins, when Benjamin made a routine cut during a one-on-one pass drill.
"Obviously, we feel awful for Kelvin. He's worked tremendously hard to put himself in a position to have a strong year," general manager Dave Gettleman said in a statement.
"We're confident he will attack his surgery and rehab with the same determination he has met all challenges before."
Benjamin caught 73 passes for 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
