Vincent placed on IR

[CAPantherFan]

This has me scared for how we do the rest of the season however remember that the anchors of that offensive line are Gross, Kalil, Otah. The rest are supporting cast I think.

Placing him on IR means that they can sign someone else to the roster, right?

Nick Hayden was promoted from the practice squad to take Vincent's roster spot.

The left side will have to be even more dependable now. Maybe we should think about signing that one guy who we had in training camp. The one who was a probowler for San Diego.

It really suck about Vincent's injury. I hope our backups for him will step it up big time. We're going to need it more than ever if we're going to get to the Playoffs & even a Superbowl run.

[megadeth078]

so are we going to mail it in?

no way!

bridges will be fine. hangman will be fine. we will be fine. it won't be as good as with vincent but we won't suck with him out.

it is going to be OK....the sun is still going to shine and we are still going to win.

reports of the sky falling have been greatly exaggerated.

what's this sky is falling poo? I know the huddle is guilty of acting that way half of the time, but I don't see how that applies to this thread. I guess we aren't allowed to be upset over losing a starter.

it just sounded like there was some overreacting.

being upset is ok, i suppose, but i'm still confident in who we have.

losing one of out tackles or kalil for the season would be tougher but still, we would be fine.

this isn't an ideal situation but we are still overall healthier than we have ever been at this point in the season and healthier than many of the teams going into the playoffs.

it could always be much worse and i'm glad it isn't.

Vincent's move to injured reserve opened a spot on the 53-man roster that will be filled by defensive tackle Nick Hayden, who had spent the entire season on the practice squad. Hayden was a sixth-round pick in last April's draft.

[SorthNarolina]

he's not nearly as key as kalil or otah though, he was a great pickup and a good player but we will be fine with bridges or hangman

it's unfortunate, but we have been blessed to not have been bitten by the injury bug so far, only losing a back up LB and kickoff specialist

it sucks but we will do just fine

Wharton's the best lineman we have when he lines up at G. He's All-pro calibre.

[N1kkadeemuz]

Hangartner and Bridges should fill in just fine, plus interior lineman are key but not as key as those two tackles are.

[panthersphan]

Losing him for the playoffs is huge...we could at least not put him on the IR...damn....

....there goes our "dominance"

We didn't "dominate" until we had our whole starting unit play together....fug....and his veteran leadership is crucial for the playoffs....I hope they prove me wrong...but this doesn't look good...

I hate to hear this, but I feel that Bridges can step in and keep pace. He's on thin ice with this organization - this is his chance to prove his worth.
