3 years agoCarolina Panthers wide receiver Shi Smith (shoulder) is expected to be sidelined with a shoulder injury he suffered during the fourth quarter of Friday's preseason victory over the Steelers. Head coach Matt Rhule noted that the team is hopeful the rookie receiver doesn't miss too much time, adding that they'll play things by ear. It's unfortunate, as the sixth-round pick showed off an ability to make big plays this preseason, perhaps putting himself in a position to be the team's fourth wideout on the depth chart. Given his injury and how many mouths there are to feed in the Panthers' offense, Smith is off the fantasy radar heading into the fall.--Tim Capurso
