Don't know.  He's not starting.  

Ugh. I don’t like that. I hope they got/get serious reps in practice. I get the why bother playing them in meaningless games and risk injury sentiment. But
 

A) They are rookies and need the reps. 
B) It’s a clear fact without proper reps at game speed players are WAY WAY more sustainable to injury during the beginning of the season. Especially old boys like Paradis.

Yeah.  If you don't mind, please take it to the other three threads.  Lots of opinions shared on this.
Horn didn't dress, so he's not playing.

It’s fair to assume that the league is beginning to realize that preseason isn’t as valuable as once perceived. 
 

Last year’s lack of preseason really changed the mindsets of franchises

Preseason is for evaluation. And letting fans get to know the new guys.

I think this is more of “can tremble show out and take Ian’s job” rather than “let’s put Ian in to secure his job”

I can see that I suppose as he isn't a rook. Yet T Marshall and B Christensen but no J Horn? Agree that preseason is becoming less and less neccessary for risk but if our first rounder can't even see some action why even put either of the first 3 picks out there? We got the Taints week 2 these fellas are going to get tested early.

I'm not sure what's so confusing about the situation. We've seen the depth chart. We've seen the starting lineup for today.

He said we wouldn't see starters because they got their reps on Thurs and Friday and cuts are coming early week.

That's what we are seeing happen.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
