Fuuuuuck. I had high hopes for him. On the bright side Ealy has been playing well, and there is worse depth out there than Addison and Horton. Rakim Cox has a chance to step up now too.

Thanks.  I didn't want to prematurely punch a hole in the wall....

So that leaves Johnson, Ealy, Horton, and Addison.  Cox will probably make the roster now and Miley may have just secured a spot on the PS.

Well, with Frank, we're pretty much just losing an unknown here. Hate it for the guy, but sometimes things just don't work out. This will give someone else a chance to make the squad, he's cost us enough over the years already.

Hope he recovers well, gets his head on straight and finds a spot on a team somewhere.

Well this sucks ass :(

I already knew that's what it was when he went to the sideline.  He clearly didn't roll it and when he got to the table they were checking his achilles and then the doctor whispered something in his ear. 

I was pissed off as soon as I saw it...   We definitely got a bad hand this year with injuries.  All I could think of was how much I wanted to skip these last two preseason games and how much I wanted the Dolphins to get the hell out of NC.

WR and DE

easily the two spots on the team we couldn't afford losses at. 

What an awful week.

Horrible news for Frank. He seems like a great guy and I was always rooting for him to take the next step. Hopefully he can work his way back eventually.

Seriously though, that play I think was the moment for who was gonna rise as the next DE across from CJ. Ealy comes in with the swat and Frank sadly goes down. It's a fate type of moment.

I'm excited for Cox, who has an opening to make a grab for a roster spot now.

Come on man. That is unnecessary.

And so ends the project known as Frank Alexander.

Fare thee well Frank...fare thee well.

He had real potential to be Hardy 2.0. We have seen the last of Alexander in a Panther's uniform. Pretty thin at DE this year.
