Charles Johnson Injury

[SgtJoo]

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera was right to be concerned about Charles Johnson.

The defensive end left Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints in the fourth quarter after suffering a hamstring injury, and there is a worry that he could miss several weeks, according to a report from Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer.

On one hand, this definitely sucks. Losing any DE, especially your best DE, is always going to be terrible.

On the other hand, our "best DE" hasn't been very good this year.

Hopefully we can beat Tampa without him.  After that, bye week.  Not sure we could beat Seattle even with Johnson, they just have our number.  Hopefully he will be back by the time we play the Eagles.  We will definitely need him against Green Bay and Indy.

IR designated to return.

Hamstring injuries sometimes never get fixed. It's because there's too much muscle under the string and no matter how much you try to stretch, it just grows the way it does and will never lengthen. 

Its been known in baseball that built speedsters have recurring hammy strains and can never fully go 100% because of it. Ends some players careers.

Alteady used on the inimitable Arthur Miley.

Nope he was waived with an injury designated for IR. He passed thru waivers unclaimed and is on our season-long IR. We still have our IR-designated to return option

no big deal..he's been a no show since week one

I swear I would take a goof head Hardy over CJ any day...especially for that price and it sucks that we couldn't afford  Hardy because CJs contract...going to really need a DE or 2 or 3 in the draft.

So do we now give cox a chance on passing downs?

[TheNewStandard]

Like I said in some other thread. Nothing but Hawg-Mawlies in next years draft.

CJ is DeAngelo Williams 2.0, he got paid and let his conditioning go. We won't see the old CJ again until he has to earn his money

I think he is just getting old, we had a replacement but he got NFLed. Now we have no one...
