WHAT??? I didn't follow the updates as closely yesterday on practice, but I kept seeing people mention Gettis' "injury." I was assuming everyone meant the hammy or whatever it was holding him out of practice last week...

So his knee buckled yesterday?

Smh... That's never good. I can't believe I missed this.

I had high hopes for him this year with a year under his belt, I really hope it isn't serious but I don't like how it sounds.

Regardless, I would've been interested in Knox whether the injury occurred or not, for the right price... I saw on roto that he was demoted so I suspected this would happen. He's a good receiver and if Gettis is out, we need to replace that downfield threat.

As I posted in another thread:

Talked to my grandfather-in-law whom is an orthopedic specialist, I told him about Gettis' knee buckling, and he is unable to put any weight on the leg. He said, if you were able to put 'some weight' on the leg and feel pain, it would be partially torn or sprained, but no weight at all is a very bad sign. Hope he's wrong, but I don't think he is.

He deduced that it's the MCL because the knee buckled, and didn't twist when it was injured. Take this with a grain of salt as it's just 1 doctors opinion without examining the patient.

95% sure it an MCL tear.

If we are lucky, it's a torn meniscus, and may not be out the whole season.

It's hard for us to know without seeing it for ourselves. He could have twisted it. And you don't always have to twist the knee to damage an ACL.

Also hard to deduce a lot from the reports of being "carted off" after what happened with Smitty being "carted off" with a cut finger the other day.

Either way, it doesn't sound good.

Should know something soon about it, he's in Charlotte getting an MRI on his knee. I hope it's just a sprain, but I'm expecting that he's done for the year.

Gettis said that his knee "Buckled" on him, indicated that it wasn't twisted.

Yeah, but my point is, "buckled" is a blanket statement a lot of athletes use to describe an injury to their knee.

If you plant your foot and begin pushing off of it to cut, your knee usually twists a bit. The first thing that came to my mind when I read "buckled" was Jamal Anderson's (the coke head former RB of the Falcons) career-ending knee injury. I can't find video anywhere but I was watching the game when it happened...

He went outside of the tackle IIRC and went to cut back in, shuffled his feet, and his knee "buckled" without anyone touching him as he went to cut back in. He blew out his ACL.

EDIT: either way, I figure if he tore anything, he's gonna be out a significant amount of time, even if it isn't a complete tear.

The knee has so many ligaments in it, it's impossible to tell with out examining, for sure.

Their fans are having a meltdown over Olson and the acquisition of Roy Williams.

Not really.

I don't expect Knox to go anywhere. He's still so young and the Bears know how good he can be, so I don't think the Bears would trade him... granted Jerry Angelo and Marty Hurney are good friends, I still don't see it happening. At least not this year.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
