Campbell sustains broken leg in Panthers win over Giants
North Augusta native Mathew Campbell broke his left leg during the Panthers 34 7 preseason victory over the New York Giants in East Rutherford. The injury came as Carolina showcased a strong defensive effort with two interceptions returned for touchdowns and a standout performance by running back Tim Biakabutuka. Biakabutuka rushed eight times for 32 yards and contributed on the team's first touchdown drive, while Kerry Collins connected with Wesley Walls for a second quarter TD. Panthers coach Dom Capers praised Biakabutuka and noted the team’s overall professional play as they prepare to open the regular season at home against Atlanta.
