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

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Sure, he's said that, but what it really means is that he's just going to insist on being a two way player and the Jags want him as such. But he won't be a starter who plays every snap on both sides in Week 1, if at all during his rookie year.  This is the NFL, no rookie, no matter how good they might be, is going to be able to go through their first mini and training camps while splitting time on both sides of the ball and be ready to be a week 1 starter and go full time both sides. And if a team does that, then they're dumb. I think their plan is to start him mainly on offense to give Lawrence another weapon, and I'm guessing it means he'll be a rotational CB early in the season, maybe he comes in when they go to nickel, even if he then plays the outside and someone else shifts inside.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      YAC isn't the only way to be a threat. Thielen's ADOT was 11 yards last year. He's stressing a defense beyond its first level. Renfrow's 2023 ADOT was 5.6 yards. He's settling into a soft spot under a zone and the defense bets that they can rally and tackle before he gets to the marker. That kind of popgun slot receiver play is fine, but we should hope to be able to find that ability in someone who can also bring another skill, whether that's a vertical threat, or some jet sweep/screen game YAC  ability, or even just being very large and blocking well. Every time we trot Renfrow out there, we limit what the defense has to worry about.
