Pilares to play against Packers?

[mr beauxjangles]

Panthers rookie WR Kealoha Pilares (ankle) has resumed practicing this week.

Pilares is recovering from a late-August high ankle sprain and expects to play Sunday against the Packers. It's a good sign that the Panthers elected not to stash him on injured reserve this year, but he won't have a significant role in the offense.

One receiver who didn't get to participate in rookie quarterback Cam Newton's 422-yard passing day was fellow rookie Kealoha Pilares, but he expects to play Sunday.

Pilares returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain on Aug. 30.

"I've been coming in early and getting treatment on it, and it's paying off," Pilares said. "It's been kind of frustrating, but it's part of football and you have to deal with it. While you're hurt, you just have to stay in the playbook and work on that part of it, just stay mentally engaged."

I think he might end up being a nice surprise this year

[PantherFanForLife]

I guess he will be taking Naanee's spot? I know nothing about this guy.

Is he good?

Yea from what we saw in training camp, he showed flashes of his great skills.

Any update on Hogan? Has he healed?

[Ivan The Awesome]

I have him in Fantasy, Should I play him? Ugh, Sidney Rice needs to heal up. My other options are Donald Jones from Buffalo and Kealoha Pilares.

Regardless I hope he plays and scores though. Home team over fantasy any day.

I really hope the rest of your team is better because those WRs are terrible...

Tutu more than likely

[Montie_0123]

Hopefully he's able to get in offense I would really like to see if he can make plays in live action. And the last I heard on Hogan was he was running sprints and coming along but they still put him on the PUP list. So we probably won't know anything until its close for him to come off the list and thats if they think he's ready. If he's not they will put him on the IR.

You guess wrong. It'll be Ajirotutu. Cam (not Anderson) was throwing to Tutu in the news clip I saw last night.

Goodson sucks as a gunner. Pilares is a much better gunner, and will see all of his playing time for now, as such.

[davos]

We have such a random collection of receivers, I dunno who's gonna really step it up, but I hope it happens:

LaFell

Arijotutu

Pilares

Edwards

Naanee

I'm kinda excited to see if either Pilares or Tutu step up their game when given the opportunity.

I'm lost. He played Sunday? And what about Anderson?

Oh nevermind. You're saying Tutu will get the nod.
