[Sam Mills Fan]

According to Gantt's Twitter. Otah's optimistic he'll be there on Opening Day though.

I read that as "scooped" for some reason. Ice cream knee.

When was it injured?

Gantt brings up a good point.

Fox sounded confident Otah would be back, but he's already had a lot of lower body injuries. Not good for a man his size

[Snake]

not good at all... looks like we are back to being thin at the oline.

Schwartz filled in nicely last year so im not too worried...that is unless it means otah will miss the season/multiple games. He is on the verge of being a pro bowl quality player...just needs to stay healthy.

Yeah, that timing sucks... maybe it's just bothering him enough that if they're gonna do it, they need to go ahead and get it done now.

Starting RT Jeff Otah returned to Charlotte today to have his knee scoped. It went well and Otah is expected to be ready for the opener.

He was having some pain in his knee.

Sounds like he had it done today and the surgery went well.

let he who is without injury, cast the first "prone".

[SorthNarolina]

Jeez, hopefully we're taking our lumps early. This is just getting ridiculous.

Our line played very well at the end of last season with Otah down but we really need him against the Giants.
