Jeff Otah, any health updates?

[Mojoman]

Any status updates on Jeff Otah's knee problems? I believe he is key player for the panthers, but I have not heard anything about him recently. Did he participate in the player organized activies? Any recent interivews with the media?

What was that? I can't hear you over the Cheetos he's crunching on right now.

You guys need to lay off of Otah... Seriously! According to his twitter page his knee is "Strong" and he's ready to play football... The pessimism around here is killing me!

Fat player's fat knee is fat.

Any news about his shoulder? I think I remember reading he was rehabbing it. I hope he's healthy by the time training camp gets underway.

Nothing on his twitter about his shoulder... Sorry bro

Jeff Otah doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. Trying to depend on him just throws a wrench in the system. If he stays healthy then yay we have a road grader. If he's not healthy then we'll be able to carry on without him.

i'll give him another chance this year... if he comes in and contributes i'll attribute the last year as an anomaly. if he still doesn't shape up its time to find another answer.

Told me he feels great on twitter.

Yep, he felt so great that he didn't even go to the unofficial panthers workouts. :cool:

I'm sure he'll be in Spartanburg for The Beacon, though.

This was the end of March

Panthers RT Jeff Otah is recovering from left shoulder surgery in addition to the knee problems that cost him all of 2010.

The shoulder procedure was done by Dr. James Andrews, and is expected to require 3-4 months for Otah to reacquire range of motion and strength. Beat writer Darin Gantt indicated that the shoulder injury is now more of a concern than Otah's knee. We're interpreting that to mean the knee woes are a thing of the past and the shoulder would keep him out of OTAs if there were any. Mar 31, 9:51 AM

So, according to that article, he should be about fully healthy now? Awesome.

I'm thinking he should play it safe and skip this year, and probably the next year too to make TOTALLY sure he's healthy. I think a good 4 year recovery process for this guy should do it.
