So what's Jeff Otah's deal this year?

[dksmith17]

How many of those guys missed all of last season with a phantom injury?

What phantom injury? It was a torn meniscus and that can be very bad news long term. The good news is he is reportedly in great shape and just has some swelling. Holding him out is likely just precautionary. Ease up on the guy already...

Bunch of bitches.

Oh, did that slip out? Well, it's the truth.

1 preseason game in the books, and already writing off one of our best linemen.

I'll reserve judgement on Otah, until when it counts.

Until then, yall are just being trigger happy.

No offense, but I'll ease up on the guy when he straps on pads and plays. Until then....... venom.

Why? Because he possibly could of played week 9 last year when we were 1-7?

No because he hasn't played in a year and a half. I'm not necessarily saying it's his fault that his knee issue has lingered. But at some point he becomes a liability.

[dksmith17]

We are far too invested to cut him over one lost season. Its the NFL injuries happen, 15% of all players end up on IR every single year.

Should I remind you that Carolina gave up a 2nd and 4th in 2008 and 1st round in 2009 for Otah

no, please dont.. it hurts

So any insight on whats up with him?

[Murph]

If he isn't starting game 1 I'll be worried if the information is still vague as to what is wrong with him. Until then I'm not sweating it.

[MadHatter]

So any insight on whats up with him?

His knee is still giving him some problems....a little swelling.

He may be injury prone, but Otah has NEVER been fat and out of shape. He came into camp this year in fantastic physical shape.

[fam4life09]

He will be ready for the reg. season don't get your panties in a bunch.

[Lout]

Hurney said that Otah was in the best shape he has seen. Many of you are misinformed, or just speculating that Otah is out of shape, which is not the case.

[thefuzz]

IIRC his knock coming out of college was his perceived inability to play through pain.

Maybe it wasn't just perception.
