Steve smith breaks arm!!!!!!!

[monstercat]

This is a tough break for Smitty, but as long as he is back by the time the season starts, it could actually be a blessing in disguise for the team, because those WR's that are fighting for a job will get more reps between now and then. Smitty really don't need to practice that much.

i wonder if it's the same arm he broke at the end of last year. did they say?

[The Saltman]

He'll be back before regular season I bet.

Your right.

Timing is decent, yeah he'll miss Training Camp, but he doesn't need it, and he should definitely be ready for Week 1 unless it takes an inordinant amount of time to heal. Biggest thing we lose is him setting an example to the rookie WRs about going hard on every play. Hopefully they saw enough of that in OTAs

ESPN just said yeah.

my god People...

Smith broke the same arm he did last season, albeit in a different spot. Last season, the injury caused him to miss the Panthers' regular-season finale.

Chris Mortensen is reporting that it's the same arm as last year near the same spot

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

ESPN just said that he is not expected to miss time.

This sucks, hopefully no games missed and this is the last major injury.

[DudeNamedJeremy]

the sky isn't falling yet..even if he does miss it's just 1 game most likely

people freaked out when he punched lucas and had to miss 2 and we won both of those without him
