Christian Miller to return?

[dxpanther]

Has this been confirmed? And does anyone think this dude will be playing at a high level if he does come back?

[TheSpecialJuan]

yea it was confirmed 

[PanthersGTI]

I thought it was confirmed earlier this year. He's got an up hill battle. Year off, new coaching staff. He did flash some as a rookie. 

 

I bet if we drop him he will be in DC in no time.

Pretty much.

He'll be back for camp. Whether or not he makes it out of camp is a whole other question.

Hopefully he put work in this whole time to get just a lil' faster... he definitely did flash for us in 2019 

[Khyber53]

He flashed for about a minute and a half here (but loved his sack celebration). Would be great to find out he is ready and able to play, but that's a lot of time off and not much tape on the guy.

He was part of Ron's  attempted switch to a more 3-4 base look. I think the hope was he could spell Ervin and Burns as a rotational OLB/Edge. I thought he did well when he played and think he may have a chance to make the team. But with us acquiring Reddick It will probably come down to whether or not he can beat out M. Haynes for a back up spot as a rotational piece. He's a bigger stronger option at that position, but he uses technique more than speed to him. I think Haynes is a little quicker. Neither are as quick off the edge as Burns or Reddick though. (All this is IMO)

A year ago there were a lot of unknowns when it came to covid and how the NFL would deal with it.  Hopefully Christian has kept himself in shape and is ready to hit the ground running.  If not he may be on the outside looking in.

I think players that took the year off for covid are the biggest pansies

He's on the official roster again, listed as a LB/DE.

It depends. Some have children/family that could get real sick if exposed. Just let them do them. Our very own Jaycee Horn left early because he had family that got pretty sick from it (his aunt passed away after getting it).

[slumdogmillionaire]

His dad on WFNZ said he trained nonstop on his year off and is faster and stronger than he ever has been.

There are people Christian's age that have suffered irreversible lung damage due to covid. 

Also, as was mentioned earlier, if you have family member with a compromised immune system or other medical issues, it would make them more susceptible to covid.  These are a few reasons why participating in the 2020 season was left up to each player's discretion.
