Panthers WR DJ Chark Sustains Hamstring Injury

Another man down in the Panthers receiver room.

A new day, a new injury for the Carolina Panthers wide receiver room. Wednesday afternoon, the team announced that DJ Chark is nursing a hamstring injury.

Carolina is already without Terrace Marshall Jr. (back) Laviska Shenault Jr. (concussion protocol), and Damiere Byrd (groin), but despite the mounting injuries head coach Frank Reich doesn't seem all that concerned with the overall depth of the group.

"Not anticipating any big moves at this point, but we'll continue to evaluate that day-by-day," said Reich. "I've been involved in enough games that you have a ding here, a ding there. I don't overreact to something. First, I've got to find out what's the severity of it. If a guy gets something, you know, where are we at on that? I just don't overreact to those things. It's a next man up mentality whether we're talking for a preseason game or a regular season game. We talked about this from the beginning as a staff, we talk about healthy tension. On one hand, we care extremely deeply about every player and every injury, it hurts to see a guy get dinged, so you feel compassion, but it's next man up and you got to keep moving on."
