CHARLOTTE, N.C. • Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil has left Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers with a right shoulder injury and the team says his return is questionable.

Dumervil has six sacks this season.

He left midway through the second quarter and has been replaced by Robert Ayers.
