First official report: Mostly good

Observer's take:

The Panthers' late-season injury crisis on their defensive line appears to be over.

Starting tackles Maake Kemoeatu (ankle) and Damione Lewis (shoulder), who both missed time at the end of the regular season, practiced Wednesday and look to be OK for Saturday's playoff game against Arizona.

Offensive tackle Jeff Otah, who hurt his toe in the regular-season finale at New Orleans, also practiced.

The only player who didn't practice was offensive lineman Geoff Hangartner, who's still recovering from an ankle injury.

The return of Kemoeatu and Lewis will bolster the Panthers' run defense against an Arizona team that ran the ball effectively last week in a wild-card game against the Atlanta Falcons. -- David Scott

Otah told Darin Gantt that his toe injury was a bruise. I would bet that he got stepped on. Been there and had that happen before. It hurts like hell! I thought my toe was amputated. It felt that way for a couple of weeks before I was able to play on it again.

    • His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him
    • That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.
    • With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
