Shaq Thompson’s 10th NFL campaign is officially over, Anthony Rizzuti of Panthers Wire reports.

Multiple reports from early Monday afternoon indicated that the veteran inside linebacker sustained a tear of his Achilles tendon in yesterday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Carolina Panthers then confirmed the unfortunate development on Thompson, who will now miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

Head coach Dave Canales was asked what the loss of Thompson means for his team moving forward.

“I’m just sick for Shaq,” Canales replied during his presser on Monday. “A guy that really just cares so much and plays with so much passion. A vocal leader. Somebody’s who had my back through this process as I get my feet underneath me as a first-time head coach.

“And to have the support of veteran guys like this, that stand for the right things, people that I can talk to, people that I can ask to lead a charge for this thing or that thing that we’re looking to get more of. So a guy that stood for all those things—Panthers football all the way through and through.”
