NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Panthers LB Shaq Thompson suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Sunday's loss to the Bengals and will miss the rest of the season.
Carolina also watched LB Josey Jewell leave the game with groin and hamstring injuries. It's not yet clear how long he might be out, but that combo of injuries doesn't seem to bode well for Week 5, at least.
