Quick hits from Monday morning’s walk-thru for the Carolina Panthers:

•Panthers confirm that NT Ron Edwards will look to have surgery on his torn triceps. No timetable on a return, and no announcement of Edwards being placed on IR.

•Sione Fua, rookie DT from Stanford, has seen extensive action over the past week and had shown flashes. Don’t be surprised if head coach Ron Rivera utilizes Fua at the NT position in Edwards’ place.

•WR David Gettis, who has been out with a hamstring, could practice Monday night, according to team sources. Gettis lacks some physicality, but has the straight-line speed that fits this offensive scheme.

•DE Greg Hardy remains sidelined from injuries sustained in a July motorcycle accident. Team does not plan to rush him back.

•DE Eric Norwood has shown as much promise as any DE thus far. Entirely too early to tell, but he fits the Trent Cole style of pass rusher that defensive coordinator Sean McDermott utilized in Philadelphia

•WR Brandon LaFell still out with hamstring issues. Team says he could return by mid-week.

Both Gettis and Lafell out with hammy injuries :rolleyes:

After a good season and don't capitalize by working extra hard to get even further. Its time for some good ol hardcore Smith advice

VERY questionable. Hey if they want Edwards and Clowney to take their spots on the depth chart it's fine with me. :skep:

If you were a WR and you were on the Panthers, would you allow yourself to have hamstring injuries? I know they are common and hard to prevent, but its the difference between 3-4 years in the league vs 10+ in the league, all because of missing TC due to a muscle injury. :|

Omg gettis and lafell aren't practicing they're not super serial about winning! Who cares about injuries? You're supposed to play all the time! I know Inever take sick days!!!

Come on... really? So glad the fans aren't responsible for any decision making aside from how much of an ass they want to be at games :/

First, I never said they should practice through an injury. Second, I wasn't criticizing the coaching staff about any decision they need to make.

Learn to read, because all I said was that I don't see how you could let yourself get a hamstring injury at such a vital point in your career. Jesus

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
