Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers WR, breaks arm playing FLAG Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith broke his arm during a flag football game this weekend.

Smith underwent surgery Sunday night for the injury, which the receiver sustained while playing defensive back, his agent Derrick Fox said.

Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said Monday that Smith "feels terrible about it" and his focus is on "getting back as quickly as he can."

The team says it's uncertain when Smith will be able to return, but that he'll definitely miss the start of training camp. The Panthers report July 28.

Fox predicted that Smith should be ready for the Panthers' regular-season opener.
