stewart injured BOTH ankles


Recommended Posts

per rotoworld...

In addition to sustaining a left high-ankle sprain at Philadelphia in Week 12, Jonathan Stewart also re-injured his right ankle.

Stewart missed two of the season's first three games with a right high-ankle sprain sustained in the preseason. His short-area explosiveness and breakaway speed haven't been the same since. Now both ankles are injured. Stewart is still hoping to play at Kansas City this week, which is yet another reason to be skeptical of coach Ron Rivera's "high-ankle" designation. He's yet to practice, however, and appears to be a long shot to suit up.

ouch. how the heck he has been able to play on a single bad ankle is one thing...

i'm curious why the coaching staff doesn't take the john fox approach by keeping him out of practice from here on out but still let him play on sundays.

If I were the GM I would have let Williams (old) walk in FA, traded Stewart (injury prone) for a 3rd, & never signed Tolbert (obese). Our RBs would be Poole & an undrafted FA or two. Money would have been spent in FA on a legit #1 WR (move 89 to slot), best available FS, veteran DT, & veteran OL.

Thanks Marty, you crazy bastärd.

Wow- with the few number of carries hes gotten over the last couple years and he cant seem to stay healthy - you got to wonder about our trainers and medical guys with all the injuries this team seems to constantly have.

Wondering if it isnt time to cut ties with all these old backs and utilize Poole and whoever we can find cheap next year - I guess it depends on who our gm and hc is and what their game philosophy is.

    • The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025
    • I disagree. It’s not hard to double a WR and still play the run. It’s called a bracket which you can use with a drop down safety or an OLB. Look up how it’s done. Also in obvious passing situations, doubling a wr is not hard. Falcons torched us in obvious passing situations time after time. 2 min drill, 3rd and long to where there’s no excuse to not focus more on Drake London. Mooney was out. London was the only WR Penix was looking at.  Evero simply can’t make adjustments. He’ll most likely be fired next year. Wish we would’ve just ripped the bandaid off this year. To call all people morons who think we can do better than Evero is a very ignorant and arrogant statement. Who the hell are you? 
    • As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations.  We looked competitive in almost all our games.  I don't think he's hit his ceiling.  7 of 10 for this year.
