Coach John Fox reacted to the news after Thursday's practice that Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has been put on a heart-transplant list.

"We've been familiar that he's not been feeling well. It's good news they know what's wrong. Now he can just get healthy and we're confident he will."

On how fortunate he feels to have Richardson as the Panthers' owner: "I'm blessed to be here. This business is hard. He played the game and understands football. I have the utmost respect for him and what he's done, the work ethic he has and the class he has."

On why it's important that Richardson was once an NFL player: "He's been in the trenches. He's been in those rooms. He understands how hard it is."

On Richardson's style as an owner: "One of the big things when I interviewed was communication. That's a big part of any business and this is a business. There's a football side and a business side and he's been a good blend of those things. He gets it."

I think it goes without saying the entire Panther nation/family is hoping that he gets the heart and can get better soon.

We are indeed fortunate to have the BEST owner in the league.

I'm definitely thankful to him for bringing the Panthers to us. My life wouldn't be the same without them.

Another prayer vigil for Mr. Richardson!!!

      Hunter Renfrow: A health challenge led to time away from football

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      Everyone wants to know what happened to Hunter Renfrow. He went from the Pro Bowl in 2021 to an afterthought in 2022 and 2023 to out of the league in 2024.  Renfrow ow is attempting a comeback with the Panthers. “It’s just trying to get back, trying to get healthy, trying to do something I love,” Renfrow told Darin Gantt of the team website when asked about a year out of the game. “I enjoyed other parts of life. We had our second daughter, so enjoying that and just wanting to make sure if I’m going to come back and give my time and attention to something that I was going to be all in on it.” Renfrow, 29, revealed that he has dealt with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, which left him with weight loss, fatigue and high fever. It’s a reason he did not play last season. Instead, Renfrow spent a year consulting with doctors and getting the condition under control. “It kicked my butt pretty good,” Renfrow said. “Last year, I fluctuated in weight. I went down to 150 pounds. I had like seven straight days of 103-degree fevers. It’s tough to play when you’re not feeling great.” He now weighs 187 with a goal of a playing weight of 185. “It’s a weird feeling. It makes you grateful for the times that you do feel good,” Renfrow said. “It makes you grateful for the opportunities that you’ve had, and when you feel like you’ve been blessed with some skill to go out there and perform, it makes you not want to waste the opportunity that you have. And that was one of the reasons why I wanted to come back and play.” In five seasons, Renfrow has 269 receptions for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/hunter-renfrow-a-health-challenge-led-to-time-away-from-football

      I am feeling optimistic for sure. But at this point in time in Panthers fandom talk is cheap and seeing is believing.
