CHARLOTTE Authentic Oren Burks Jersey , N.C. (AP) Carolina rookie wide receiver Curtis Samuel is done for the year. The Panthers announced Tuedsay that he will undergo season-ending surgery on his left ankle and will be placed on injured reserve.

That means Carolina (7-3) will be looking for a new starting wide receiver heading into the bye week.

Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula wouldn’t say who would replace Samuel in the starting lineup.

”It’s probably going to be by committee,” Shula added. ”One of the best things that happened (Monday) night after Curtis (got injured) is we didn’t really feel like we missed a beat. Guys coming in and doing their jobs and knowing their assignments.”

The Panthers traded starting wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin two weeks ago to Buffalo in an effort to get more speed on the field. Carolina’s offense has excelled since then Authentic Babe Herman Jersey , racking up a franchise record 548 yards and 30 first downs against Miami.

Samuel had five catches for 45 yards against the Dolphins, but did drop a touchdown pass on the play in which he was hurt.

”Is there anybody as fast as him? There’s some guys on the team that would say yeah Authentic Breeland Speaks Jersey ,” Shula said. ”We’re going to try hard to find ways to put guys in place with what they do best, and have them go do it.”

Russell Shepard would be one likely candidate to replace Samuel Authentic Deadrin Senat Jersey , but Kaelin Clay and Brenton Bersin could also see increased action. Wide receiver Damiere Byrd is eligible to return Dec. 3 from injured reserve.
