Yikes. RT @mortreport: Just left Dolphins-Panthers. Bad news for Panthers: Pro Bowl MLB Jon Beeson on crutches with "at least" MCL injury.

sucks maybe- will wait for the official report before I start ripping my hair out

At best its a chance for Conners to step up and fill a very big pair of shoes

Hope its grade one

Recovery times differ depending on the severity of the injury:

•A minor, or grade 1, MCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports.

•A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks to heal.

•A grade 3 tear usually takes from four to eight weeks to heal, unless it is associated with damage to the ACL, in which case the recovery time may be longer.

Not good.

Bleh, he's overrated anyway...

j/k I hope he's alright

As great as Beason is, this won't be as big a loss as Kemo because of the depth behind him. Still, if he loses a significant amount of playing time, I'm going to be devastated.

I just read a grade three is 3-4 months of recovery time- thats the season possibly

Beason is the leader of the defense and the best player on it. This loss would be just as big as Kemo.

....and the hits just keep on coming.

Not to diminish Beason, but I disagree. I'm a lot more comfortable with Dan Connor stepping in at MLB than Hayden or Favorite starting at defensive tackle.

It will still be a massive loss, don't get me wrong. Beason is probably my favorite Panther.

Well, Beason himself said that he doesnt think that its serious, so thats good news.

Without Beason, we are one of the bottom 5 defenses in the league.
