Panthers' Kawann Short done for season with torn rotator cuff
The Carolina Panthers placed defensive lineman Kawann Short on season-ending injured reserve with a partially torn rotator cuff.
What It Means:
Short suffered the injury in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "We have made the decision that it is in the best long-term interest of [Short] and the team that he undergo surgery to fix his shoulder and focus on his rehab and get ready for next season," general manager Marty Hurney announced in a press release. Short turns 31 after the season.
Short recorded 4 tackles and 3 quarterback hits in two games this season.
