Andre Neblett

Isn't he supposed to be back this week? Is he playing today?

I think he is on the pup with some sort of illness and conditioning issues.

No, they are using the one week exemption for players returning from a suspension on him. They don't have to add him to the roster and make a subsequent roster move, until next week

I was wondering what was going on with Neblett...

What does that even mean. Why are we using that on him?

[TruCatzFan]

I figured he was going to be playing today being that we haven't heard anything

So that they could add a corner to the roster this week while Gamble is hurt, would be my guess. The exception rule this year is something new. It allows for an extra week before a decision must be made for a player coming off suspension. If the Panthers wanted to, they could have added him this week, but the new rules allows them to let him sit off the official roster for an extra week. They will add him and make a cut at some point during our bye week. It gives a lot more evaluation time as well as practice time for Neblett before they have to start giving him a Jersey, not to mention the strategic value for todays game, as mentioned in my first sentence.

Good lord people....here.

Defensive tackle Andre Neblett will not be active for Sunday’s game against Seattle.

Neblett is coming off a four-game suspension and is eligible to play, but the Panthers are going to take their one-week exemption with Neblett before making a roster move.]
