Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn will be sidelined up to six weeks with a significant quad injury, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Chinn, who is in the final year of his contract, does not need surgery, according to the report.
The injury will likely affect his trade value, however, as the Philadelphia Eagles had reportedly shown interest.
Chinn, 25, started the first six games for the winless Panthers and recorded 23 tackles and one sack.
He played only 26 defensive snaps in Sunday’s 42-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
A second-round pick in 2020, Chinn has 317 tackles, four sacks, two interceptions and two fumbles returned for touchdowns in 48 career games (all starts).
