Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson faces another season-ending injury, likely a torn Achilles, during a recent game against the Cincinnati Bengals. This marks the second consecutive year Thompson has suffered a significant injury, having previously broken his fibula last season.
Despite the setbacks, Thompson remains determined to continue his career, expressing on social media that he has no intention of retiring. He has been a key player for the Panthers, leading the team in tackles this season.
With the Panthers struggling at 1-3 and heading towards a potential seventh straight losing season, rookie Trevin Wallace is expected to step in for Thompson. The team is also dealing with multiple injuries among key players, including team captain Derrick Brown.
