Panthers put Wharton on IR, he makes 14

[Fox007]

And people are worried that we might beat the Cardinals.

HAH I say.

PS Please put Beason on IR effective yesterday

Just a way for EVERYONE in the FO (not just Fox) to make this season hurt less. We've had 14 on IR before. Of course, we went 7-9 that season. Maybe even 8-8.

If all these guys were healthy we would have probably won at most 3 games this year.

its a throw away season- why take a chance on injuring a guy long term if there is no reason to?

The Panthers moved their injured reserve list to 14, by placing G Travelle Wharton on IR along with DE Everette Brown and LB Jason Williams.

Wharton's been down with a turf toe problem, and didn't appear likely to come back anytime soon.

To fill their roster spots, the Panthers promoted Dt Corvey Irvin and CB R.J. Stanford from the practice squad.

They still have one spot left on the 53-man roster, which they'll likely fill today.

They also signed DT Tommie Duhart to the practice squad. The 6-foot-4, 330-pounder transferred from Pitt to Valdosta State for his senior year. He recently worked out for Seattle.

The Panthers have another practice squad spot open as well.

I guess we're going to get the injury EXCUSE at the end of the year. Which is BS, because this team sucked long before the injuries.

The Cards played pretty well this last weekend. Just saying

Fox is DESPERATE to find excuses for this season lol.

Am I the only one that get's what the FO is doing by putting all these players on IR? The FO want's to lock down the #1 overall pick just as much as us fans. So what better way to assure we don't win another game (without being obvious) other than putting starters on IR, and making us even less competitive.
