Head coach Dave Canales said Saturday that Mays will be out a couple of weeks due to an AC sprain in his shoulder that he sustained in Thursday's 17-3 loss to the Patriots, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

The Panthers entered Thursday's contest with just seven offensive linemen active, with Mays getting the start at center. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, but with Mays potentially out for the last two games of the preseason, Austin Corbett and Andrew Raym are likely to see more snaps under center.
