Panthers starting DT Lewis out until July

Panthers DT Damione Lewis will be out until training camp at the earliest after undergoing shoulder surgery Saturday.

It's been a rough off-season for the Carolina defense, with coaches leaving, Julius Peppers wanting out, and now this. Lewis, 31, played well as a starter in the first year of a new contract, but will have to show he's healthy in camp to justify his big salary next year.
