'Panthers QB Sam Darnold carted out of preseason game with ankle injury'
There's always a risk to playing in preseason, and Sam Darnold felt it on Friday.
The Carolina Panthers quarterback, who was battling Baker Mayfield for the starting job until four days ago, exited a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills after going down with an ankle injury. The Panthers soon announced Darnold would not return.

The injury occurred late in the third quarter, when Bills defensive tackle C.J. Brewer tackled Darnold as he was releasing a pass. Replay showed Darnold's ankle appearing to bend the wrong way under Brewer's weight.
Darnold was eventually taken off the field via a cart.
