Jon Beason tweaks hamstring

[PantherPhann89]

He has had a year off football. If he sits all preseason he simply won't be in game shape....will have to ease him into the regular season as well.

I think practice will keep him in shape and will be much less intense than Preseason games. Eventhough its only Preseason. Its game time to Beason. I'm sure that he won't be held out of Preseason games, I only said that to imply how much I don't want him re-injured, we need him!

^{Injury prone. Cut him!!}

[Rubi]

The guys with leg injuries last year...the fact they are having more leg issues is quite concerning....and is more than likely related to previous injuries...(imbalance, weakness, swelling ?)

These muscle groups all work together. If one group is not healthy, than it is probable another part of the leg will be at risk.

Not what I want to be hearing before our first preseason game

i would be concerned if it was a regular season game. not a preseason game. they don't matter. he shouldn't be playing in them anyway. it's not a big deal at this point in time. 3 weeks from now...maybe. but right now it's basically a non-issue.

unless you are just looking for stuff to worry about and in that case, have at it.

I'll worry about Beason if he doesn't get reps in preseason game 3. At this point, playing or not isn't a big deal.

Rivera says hammy is worse than initially thought. Beason already ruled out with plans to be back next week.

Something to watch. Hammie's are weird

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, I'm always nervous about hamstring issues. They have a nasty habit of lingering.

However, I'm not TOO concerned this early on.

[Jrock88]

i wouldnt play him at all in the preseason, why risk anything. hes way too fuging valuable

[LinvilleGorge]

I'd get him some reps just to get in the swing of things and develop chemistry with Kuechly.

The main thing I wouldn't have done was play him with a duct taped together Achilles early last year. Unfortunately, that had disaster written all over it from the get go.

Ron Rivera says Jon Beason hamstring worse than initially thought. Says Beason will not play Saturday night. Hopes he'll practice next week.

Uh oh.

Newsflash! Breaking!

A football player suffered an injury. It is still unclear what impact this will have on planetary rotation.

Injuries happen every year. Just be thankful that we seem to have avoided anything too serious in the first 11 days of camp (other than Ziemba). Not trying to trivialize things, but expecting everyone to come out of camp 100% healthy is not reasonable.

Good teams adjust. We will too.

We won't see Beason until the 3rd or 4th preseason game I bet.

[Rubi]

It's just a discussion.

Tough guys have to assert themselves with sarcasm. Beat that chest
