Otah has setback...

[KillerKat]

Panthers RT Jeff Otah is not expected to play in Week 1 after having a setback in his recovery from an early-August knee scope.

Otah remains on the active/PUP list, and he's yet to resume practicing. Geoff Schwartz, who showed promise as a fill-in for Otah late last season, will draw the start against the Giants. The Panthers averaged 183 rushing yards in Schwartz's three starts last year, so DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart owners can rest easily.

Yeesh. It's nice to have Schwartz, but we really need Otah the Mauler in there.

This has probably been brought up already, but Otah's scoping... it wasn't the injury from last season was it? Just curious why the scope was done in August and not immediately after the season. I'm assuming he suffered another injury during OTA's or Mini-Camps maybe, and as a result couldn't get the scope until August? If not, pretty fuging stupid to wait until August to do some surgery, no?

Whenever I see anything negative involving Otah, I always feel sympathy for SouthCak. You have sold yourself well as his biggest fan.

True story.

Im not worried about Swartzes side at all its Jordan Gross that been letting everyone come on thru. He looks like poo so far this season. Ok flame away, all of your were thinking it anyway, I just said it outloud.

Yea I think he has had trouble adjusting to the Ref back there. Some of his old moves just dont work now. Still having a man beast on the right side is a big advantage when you have the dude right beside him.

lets not forget how long it can take for a Oline to gel..also Kailil has to change his game with new guys on the line.

Is anyone shocked by this? He's never been healthy and probably never will be.

Being that big with knee problems is never a good thing. Then again Gross and Wharton both have had there fair share of injuries.
