beason might not be ready for week 1...

[DeeJay]

He'll be ready no worries

[carolinarolls]

I think we have a few weapons that will be brandished JIT to make a huge difference

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

As I have said before, I dealt with nagging tendinitis in my achilles throughout my high school athletic days. There is no sense in rushing him back and asking him to play if he is anything less than 100%. All it takes is one wrong step on a bum achilles that was strained to begin with to put him out for another 6-7 weeks.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather wait until he is fully prepared to go and completely healthy before risking more games than just the first. After all, it is the Cardinals and a very winnable game without Beason. I love the guy just as much as the rest of us but this is an injury that can be easily aggravated if 52 was to come back too soon.

that's why we finally addressed QB by investing the #1 in it :Angel_anim:

My statement still stands

[pantherclaw]

Conner is a damn good MLB.

As good as beason? No..but it won't be the end of the world.

Let beason heal. His ankle needs to be 100% before he's back on the field.

[Brandon]

Even though Beason is probably the best player on the team, we have sufficient depth at MLB to ease the pain of losing him for a while. I would much rather he miss a couple games early than lose him for an entire season or more if he ruptures his achilles.

but...but we drafted 2 and signed a vet!

whats that supposed to mean?

Jon Beason had minor surgery on his Achilles on Tues. Still has not been ruled out for week 1.

Damn

[SOJA]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[panthers55]

Folks need to chill. You act like with Beason out, now we are going to be in trouble where as with him we are a playoff contender.

Why would we jeopardize our star linebacker who we just signed for 5 more years to get him in right away when we are going to take our lumps this year as well. Might as well give other guys experience and see what we have. It isn't as if he will make the difference between 5-11 and 11-5.

[TheRealDeal]

Got it, let all the good players sit and make this an extended preseason.

It'll be just like last year !!!!

[MrCatWalker]

It's been reported that Beason had surgery yesterday so he will miss at least the first game of the season. Charlotte Observer

[TheRealDeal]

No Beason and no decent DT, just our LUCK

No where in that link does it say he is guaranteed to miss the first game.
