ATLANTA (AP) -Carolina receiver Steve Smith walked slowly off the field after falling in the end zone on an incomplete Hail Mary pass on the final play of the first half Sunday.
Smith was behind a group of Panthers receivers and Atlanta Falcons defenders when quarterback Jake Delhomme’s 52-yard pass was knocked down in the left side of the end zone.
It appeared Smith hurt his left leg. Game officials drove a cart out to pick him up, but Smith limped toward the Carolina locker room under his own power.
Since the start of 2005, Smith ranks third in the NFL with 5,152 yards receiving.
Atlanta led 21-13 at halftime.
