The Facts: The Panthers aren't particularly deep at wide receiver, and one of the guys they were hoping would compete for a job will be out until training camp. Via Max Henson of the team's official website, Bersin had surgery Wednesday to remove a bone spur from his ankle.
Diehards Line:
The work was done by team doctor and foot-and-ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. Head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion said Bersin would miss the rest of OTAs and minicamp, but should be ready for training camp. As PFT notes, Bersin has hung around for five seasons. He caught two passes last season, and has 24 career receptions. Other than second-round pick Curtis Samuel, the Panthers don’t have much of note behind starters Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess. They lost veteran free agent Ted Ginn to the Saints, and backfilled with guys such as Russell Shepard and Charles Johnson.
