The Panthers have confirmed that MLB Jon Beason's injury is to his Achilles' tendon, not his ankle. Two sources have told the Gaston Gazette's Steve Reed that Beason's Achilles' tendon is torn, which jibes with a Sunday evening ProFootballTalk report that Beason had suffered a "serious" Achilles' injury. The Panthers could announce as early as this afternoon that they've lost their star linebacker for the season.
