Carolina Panthers star linebacker Shaq Thompson sustained what is believed to be a torn Achilles and will miss the remainder of the season, NFL Network reported Monday.
Per the report, Thompson will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the severity of the injury.
Thompson was able to walk off the field before being carted to the locker room during the fourth quarter of the Panthers’ 34-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Thompson recorded five tackles in that game to boost his total to 35 in four games (all starts) this season.
He played in just two games last season before sustaining a broken fibula.
Thompson, 30, has totaled 752 tackles, 12 sacks, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and three interceptions in 123 career games (112 starts). He was selected by the Panthers with the 25th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.
