Report: Panthers Safety Xavier Woods to Miss 'Extended Time' with Hamstring

Another blow to the Carolina secondary.

The Carolina Panthers' secondary took another hit on Sunday when safety Xavier Woods exited the game with a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, this appears to be an injury that will cause Woods to miss between four to six weeks, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Woods recorded 11 tackles and two pass breakups in three games this season and is in the second year of a three-year contract with the Panthers.

Rookie Jammie Robinson is listed as his backup on the team's unofficial depth chart for this week's game against Minnesota. However, we could see some shuffling in the back end which may feature Jeremy Chinn playing more of a safety role.
