Charles Johnson hurt

[Ja Rhule]

 

Panthers LE Charles Johnson is dealing with a hip-flexor injury.

It's pretty much the exact last news the Panthers' embattled defense needed. It's unclear what Johnson's status is for Week 5. Already dramatically worse than 2013 in the absence of Greg Hardy, the Panthers' defense would be in danger of becoming an all-out doormat were Johnson to miss an extended amount of time.

So far this season, Charles Johnson is averaging 0.75 tackles per game.  That's his only statistic...  Dude is making around $1 million per tackle.

I wonder if this has been going on for a while but we just haven't heard about it.

Can we trade for a bye week?

I feel the same. He has looked terrible this entire year so something must have been going on then too.

He's been hurt all year.

Our defense is gonna suck all year. The sad part is, we're a LT & competent OC away from having a very good offense. Trade for a LT & find a competent play caller & open up the playbook. Cam could carry the team.

Too bad Rivera & DG are conservative & scared to score points.

All I can find is a tidbit on cbs sports stating that he played through the injury against the Ravens.

So we lost both star DE's...  Looks like Alexander and Horton going forward.

I see it now. Seems like nothing more than speculation regarding his status for the Bears game.

going by carolinas record alone, carolina is currently ranked #14, there are 10 teams with 1 or less wins this season.  I'm pretty sure those teams feel differently about where carolina is at as a team.

The defense has been doormat status since last Sunday night.

luckily our indefatigable offensive coordinator knows how to gameplan for a shootout and work with his young quarterback's strengths. we got this
