Kemo out of surgery>>out for 9 months to a year

[CBDellinger]

One of my best friends got to observe the procedure and it just ended a few minutes ago. Everything went well but the performing doc said he'd def miss all of this year and gave an eta of 9 months to a year.

One odd notable fact was that since he was so large they had a hard time locking down the operating table and it was not as balanced as they normally like for it to be.

Anyways... I dont think this news comes as a shock to anyone... still, it certainly sucks.

They might as well IR him now and free up the roster spot.

I think they just did.

Hopefully it's 9 months. That would suck for him to go into next years camp *maybe* not fully healed yet.

Well see ya next year Kemo, thanks for playing

It's all about what he puts into it now.

if he goes and rehabs hard and does everything needed to and more then it's not hard to see him coming back even better.

That really suck Kemo is done for the year. Our DT really need to step up & do what we needed.

one of the team doctors for the Panthers says that ortho guys always overestimate so A: they don't look bad if complications arise and B: so that when they make a miraculous comeback it looks better on them. When Carson Palmer went down, the doctor who did the surgery said it was going to be a 15 month recovery when the tendon wasn't even fully torn and Carson was back six months later lol

but yeah, Kemo is done with the team. He's 31 and has a huge roster bonus coming up next year. Sorry big guy, thanks for the memories.

I was thinking something similar. I think we've seen Kemo in a Panthers jersey for the last time. I don't think he'll come back from this.

there goes the season...

Not surprised at the timeline when the team announced it was a full rupture...sorry to see it happen...we'll miss you Kemo...

[Highlandfire]

Well I am not sure what we will do now. We are in deep crap on the DL

Palmer had surgery Tuesday in Houston. Doctors used grafts from other parts of his body and donated tissue to fix the damage during an operation that lasted more than two hours. Palmer headed back to California on Thursday to do his rehabilitation.

do you ever get tired of being wrong
