CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is undergoing an MRI on his throwing shoulder Monday after experiencing soreness following Carolina’s 24-6 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. Coach Matt Rhule said he will wait until Wednesday to get a better grasp on Darnold’s injury status before making a determination on who’ll start Sunday at Arizona. P.J. Walker is the team’s other option at quarterback. Darnold originally injured his right shoulder in Carolina’s Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Rhule also confirmed that center Matt Paradis is done for the season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee.
