REPORT: Chris Manhertz will be sidelined for at least the start of training camp.

Chris Manhertz - TE - Panthers

Panthers TE Chris Manhertz (foot) will be sidelined for at least the start of training camp.

Manhertz missed most of minicamp with a left foot injury. It's an opportunity for fourth-round TE Ian Thomas to do some depth-chart jumping, though Manhertz is still expected to open the year behind Greg Olsen. Manhertz is an active/PUP list candidate, but his Week 1 status isn't in doubt.

At this point if Manhertz has the nod over Thomas because “experience” I can’t wait to see Silatolu start because “experience”

Of course the man got hurt.

I think this leaves Jason Vander Laan and Evan Baylis after Greg and Ian.

who?

Hate it for him, but I wouldn't mind if he's sidelined a little longer than expected. More reps for Thomas.

I really hope Ian Thomas steps up and cements himself as the number 2. Usually injuries are the only chance a guy gets to prove himself under Rivera.

Manhertz will always be a disappointment. Hopefully Thomas will step up.

I love it for him. Chris Manhertz sucks big, juicy, plump, delicious cock.

Honestly, I don't even call him a disappointment. He was a small school basketball player. He'd never even played football until he got to the NFL. He was a hail mary of a long shot at absolute best.

We aren't talking about a Pro Bowl tight end.  He was promoted mostly because Dickson left.  Thomas, from what I have heard, is a good blocking TE and could easily fill the role Manhertz has.   As he gains more experience and gets more comfortable with the offense.  I can easily see him being targeted a couple of times a game.  

I hope he heals quickly and gets back in time but his days are numbered as the #2 TE anyhow.   Thomas will eventually take that role.   Might as well get him as many reps with the #1s now.

THE Chris Manhertz?  Damn it.
