CHARLOTTE — The Panthers will be without one of their top defensive linemen for a bit.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton is "going to miss a little time" with a hamstring injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.
Canales said Wharton would miss "somewhere in the two-to-four-week range."
Wharton played 20 snaps in the opener.
He was one of their first signings in free agency in March, after recording 8.5 sacks last year for the Chiefs (including the playoffs). They still have Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown III, and A'Shawn Robinson up front, along with Jaden Crumedy and Cam Jackson on the active roster.
