Proof is in the video. The Carolina Panthers have officially welcomed third-year wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin back from injury.
Benjamin missed his entire sophomore season after sustaining a torn ACL in training camp last August. His return marks for the first time since his injury that Benjamin has actively practiced with his team.

Benjamin was incredibly productive in his rookie debut when he recorded 73 receptions for 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns. He will look to continue this success as the Panthers’ No. 1 receiver this fall.
During Benjamin’s absence in 2015, Newton passed for a career-high 35 touchdowns. As long as Benjamin remains healthy, he should be handing out several of his own souvenir footballs this season.
Considering the Panthers went 15-1 without their star receiver, we can only imagine what is in store for Cam’s passing attack in 2016.
