Charles Johnson hurt

[TheRed]

Rivera is the one that mentioned it during the presser.  That's why Steve Reed tweeted.

 

 

Jones asked Rivera about CJ appearing to stretch his hamstring on the field.  Rivera explained that it was actually his hip flexor that's been bothering him.

 

I'm assuming Rivera mentioned nothing of his status? Odd that Jones hasn't tweeted anything about CJ at all, but he mentioned Deangelo as doubtful. You would think he would mention doubt of any kind regarding a player of importance to the team like Johnson. Ohwell.

I don't think it was something Rivera thinks will affect his playing status.  There was no indication he wouldn't practice on Wednesday.  I think it's just hampering his performance and that's why Rivera answered it.

Yay!!!!!

More good news.

I just got over a hip flexor injury myself.  It was a bitch.  I couldn't even jog for 6-8 weeks.

[Mr. Scot]

Rivera says Charles Johnson has a hip flexor.

I always laugh when coaches frame injuries this way

"He's got an ankle." Yeah, so do I. Two of them, in fact.

[SOJA]

well at least his poor play has an excuse attached to it now

Hardy isnt hurt but we cant use him because of the liberals

[KendrickPanther]

Different reporters on twitter have said he's been laboring since training camp. The news might just be breaking now because Frank is back.

[greghardy'sAK-47]

he has been MIA anyway.  a real disappointment.  

[Paa Langfart]

uh

 

thats probably why he has been mia - hes been playing hurt

[beastson]

I think we all had a small feeling Big Money been playing hurt, but as I look him that lost of weight is not beneficial to him. His quickness was ok, but it really was his weight/strength and hand technique that made him good

[greghardy'sAK-47]

uh

if he's hurt, then he don't look hurt.  just looks MIA.  

 

sad state of affairs when the only names being singled out in panthers trenches are olinemen.  

[My Goodness My Guinness]

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

Gahlee I cannot stand the thought of Horton starting...

How does an NFL player at this level end up with a hip flexer injury?  It's not like he's Desean Jackson out there.  Speaks to inadequate training and taking care of yourself.
