Carolina Panthers defensive lineman Derrick Brown reportedly sustained a potentially season-ending knee injury during Sunday’s season-opening loss at New Orleans.
NFL Network reported Monday that Brown’s meniscus injury will require surgery, with his timeline determined during that procedure.
It was not immediately clear when the injury occurred during the Panthers’ lopsided 47-10 loss to the Saints. He recorded three tackles and played 60 of Carolina’s 66 defensive snaps.
A Pro Bowl selection in 2023, Brown has started 64 of his 67 games since Carolina drafted him with the seventh overall pick in 2020 out of Auburn. He signed a 4-year, $96 million contract this offseason.
Brown, 26, has recorded eight sacks, 48 quarterback hits, 21 passes defensed, two interceptions and 248 tackles.
