"Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith was carted to the locker room with a right shoulder injury Monday night, the latest blow to another key player in an injury-filled start to training camp. X-rays were negative, but general manager Marty Hurney was uncertain how long the four-time Pro Bowl receiver will be out. However, Smith's agent, Derrick Fox, said Monday that Smith would likely miss at least two weeks and was considering an MRI exam on the injury, according to the Charlotte Observer. "Steve has a high threshold of pain, and he's in a lot of pain, so something's off-kilter," Fox said, according to the report. Smith was injured when he got tangled with cornerback Chris Gamble early in the evening workout, held without pads (ESPN)."
I saw the video of this and it looked like Smith was in a lot of pain. Carolina offense will not do anything without him on the field, so they better hope he can get back to 100% ASAP, but it doesn't sound overly serious, and he knows the offense, so overall I don't expect this to hurt them too bad.
