Report: Panthers' Benjamin avoids major knee injury

Carolina Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin avoided a major knee injury in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Benjamin left the contest and did not return, but Rapoport notes a source says the receiver is "fine."

The 26-year-old missed all of 2015 with a torn ACL in the same knee, so the Panthers will certainly be breathing a sigh of relief.

Benjamin only has nine receptions on the season.
