Nakamura to IR:

CHARLOTTE – Safety Haruki Nakamura, the only member of the Panthers' secondary to start all 13 games this season, has been placed on injured reserve with a season-ending groin injury suffered in Sunday's victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Nakamura is the fourth full-time defensive starter to go on IR, joining linebacker Jon Beason, cornerback Chris Gambleand defensive tackle Ron Edwards. He sustained the injury while trying to make a touchdown-saving tackle of Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones in the fourth quarter.

Carolina filled Nakamura's roster spot by signing safetyAnderson Russell from the practice squad and added defensive back Kamaal McIlwain to fill Russell's place on the practice squad.

Campbell played well, or at least that was my impression.

Maybe next year (pleasepleaseplease) we'll be in such a condition at safety that he'll never play another defensive down again.

Who?

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

well thats just unfortunate

[Herbert The Love Bug]

you people are sick that are cheering about him going to the IR. Yeah he is a terrible player and I want to see less of him and more of Campbell but don't cheer somebody's injury. I guess this is the end of his days in Carolina though

Nakamura played a huge role in this disaster of a season, but even so I don't feel good about him being injured. All the terrible players who ruined this season should be sent packing, and Naka should be the first to hit the bricks.

wait, so all that practice at karate splits don't actually help you on the football field? at least now we have an excuse to find a real safety.

I hate this. Wouldn't wish a injury on anyone. But as a football player he SUCKS!

[pantherj]

Naka injured his groin trying to run fast, and by fast I mean slightly slower than me and at brisk jog.

[KillerKat]

Good. Whatever it takes to keep him off the field.
