UPDATING BREAKING NEWS: Otah on IR, Panthers sign OL Pettiti

OK, here's more on the news that the Panthers have put Jeff Otah on injured reserve.

He suffered a knee injury early in last Sunday's 20-10 loss at New England and played for much of the game before leaving with a sore shoulder late.

However, the knee injury turned out to be significant, but is not a ligament tear, according to general manager Marty Hurney.

Otah is expected to have surgery and to be ready for the Panthers' offseason minicamp, OTA, etc.

Perfect.

don't know what's worse; an athlete being out injured all year or you getting tweets on injury updates....

Glad it’s not a ligament tear.

Should be fun running the ball against the Vikes D without our best run blocking lineman.

Well at least Gross and Otah going down will give our inexperienced depth on the OLine some experience for next season. Who knows we may be more competitive down the stretch and that experience will be invaluable.

At least it appears nothing serious and nothing that is likely to cause a weakness for future injuries.

I think we're trying to set a record for most linemen (offensive or defensive) on the team roster.

im more scared to see what jared allen is going to do to moore.

[Panthro]

lol

Where is Kurb? He predicted that Fox would start filling up the IR as an excuse

[rayzor]

yeah....that franchise tag on pep....awesome idea.

OL depth was going to be bad anyway cause hangman and omiyale were most likely going to be taking starting jobs somewhere but still that left us with really crappy choices at OL depth.

another major fail for the panthers FO.

That should be fun to watch as well

[Bobby]

Make Peppers play tackle.
