CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Panthers starting free safety Charles Godfrey is out for the remainder of the season with a torn right Achilles tendon, adding to the teams troubles following a 0-2 start. Team spokesman Charlie Dayton made the announcement Monday shortly after coach Ron Riveras press conference. Godfrey, a six-year-starter for the Panthers, sustained the injury during the second half of Carolinas 24-23 loss to Buffalo on Sunday while breaking up a pass to Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson in the corner of the end zone. Godfreys injury is a huge blow to a secondary that was already considered the weak link in Carolinas defence. Godfrey, who has started 74 career games, is considered the secondarys best player. But his injury might not be Carolinas only concern in the secondary as they prepare to host the New York Giants on Sunday. Rivera said the Panthers will re-evaluate the teams other four injured defensive backs -- Quintin Mikell (foot), Josh Thomas (concussion), Josh Norman (thigh) and DJ Moore (knee) -- on Wednesday when they return to practice. Mikell and Thomas both left the game Sunday and did not return. Norman and Moore were also injured, but returned to the game later on. Rivera said if Mikell cant play the Panthers would look at Moore and Colin Jones as potential replacements for Godfrey. If Thomas is unable to start at cornerback, the Panthers could turn to James Dockery and Melvin White, a pair of young players whove been inactive the last two games. The team is also considering bringing in free agents from outside the organization. Rivera said losing the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Godfrey is difficult because hes made tremendous strides since being moved from strong safety to free safety last season and had become the leader in the secondary. "Since then hes played about as well as you would like to have a free safety play," Rivera said. "Hes put himself in position to make plays and hes done the type of things you need to do to have success. "The thing youve seen is his growth. You see him doing things that a veteran defensive player is supposed to do -- giving false reads, giving bad reads to an opponent and disguising his coverages by moving in and out of coverages. You hate to see it happen because hes a guy who has really found his niche at free safety for us. You would love to have him, but we dont."
