Quintin Mikell?

Recommended Posts

What happened to Quintin Mikell? He just kind of quietly fell off the roster in the offseason, and doesn't seem to be on a team at the moment. He played in 14 games last year. I don't remember him being awful. He had 59 tackles and 2 forced fumbles.

 

What gives? Did he retire? Was he injured? I understand all the players leaving in free agency for bigger contracts, but it seems like we would have brought him back for OTA's or something.

 

Did I miss some news? 

 

PS: Sorry for all my dumb secondary questions this week.

Apparently he is recovering from an injury and has all but retired. I read that somewhere, but cannot rememberwhere at this moment.

 

Edit found it:

 

 

 

Mikell had offseason foot surgery and told Philly Sports Talk he is all but retired.

Panthers SS Quintin Mikell suffered a foot injury in Sunday's Divisional Round game versus San Francisco and will not return.
Undrafted rookie Robert Lester will finish out the game at strong safety. The extent is unknown, but Mikell is an impending free agent and turns 34 years old before next season. A Lisfranc injury could end his career.

my bad. I thought Harper was replacing Mitchell... Shows you how much I care if Roman makes the team or not

Decoud is hopefully doing that. He's the reclamation project.

 

Harper is just the veteran blitzing strong safety. H

It went crazy when all the injuries happened in Buffalo.  Originally it was Godfrey at FS, Mitchell at SS.  After the injury, Mitchell moved to FS and they pulled Lester off the practice squad where he and Mikell split time at SS.  

 

I kind of like Harper for rushing downs and blitz packages.  Coverage, not so much.  If he has any injuries past this turf toe though, you probably won't have to worry too much about him.  He'll be IR'd and gone next season.

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
