Brown (knee) is feared to have suffered a season-ending meniscus injury during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Brown's injury is among the worst pieces of news the Panthers could receive after the Week 1 rout. Following the offseason departure of Brian Burns, Brown was expected to anchor the front seven after signing a four-year, $96 million contract extension. Brown will require knee surgery, but a timeline for his return won't become clear until doctors can go in and determine the severity of the damage. It sounds inevitable that the Panthers will soon rule Brown out for a Week 2 tilt versus the Chargers, which could thrust Jayden Peevy and LaBryan Ray into expanded roles.
