.@Panthers C Ryan Kalil says he's "on track" - not ahead of sked - in recovery from Lisfranc injury. Admits rehab is testing his patience

 

Panthers C Ryan Kalil (Lisfranc surgery) says he is "on track" in his recovery.

 

Kalil says the rehab is "testing his patience." Early word in December was that Kalil was expected to be ready for OTAs, but that seems uncertain at this point. The 28-year-old suffered the injury in Week 5 last season and even if he isn't ready for OTAs, he should be all systems go for training camp.

 

Definitely some good news from Kalil.

Good news!

 

We need Kalil playing at a high level come week 1. His recovery and ability to get back to where he was before his injury is imperative to this teams success on offense this season.

Damn, he's only 28?

 

Didn't know that...

Getting Kahil back is like having a first rounder spent on Oline, it will be huge, and hopefully he can stay on the field.  Silatolu needs to be beside two vets so he can further his development.

Im already not getting good vibes about his rehab - weve been through this with other guys too many times.

It sounds like bad news, if anything.

Kalil being ready for OTAs was a best case scenario. He has about 3 months before we really need him. I have no doubt he will be ready well before then.

[rayzor]

as long as he's ready by week 1 and cam has time to work with him, he'll be fine. i doubt he'll push himself back too early. 

 

I'm not worried.

I am not worried, but I thought he was ready to go.  Kalil will be better with some bruising guards beside him because he is not a bruiser himself.  In addition, he will help the young Guards.

 

I think we are rebuilding the OL gradually.  Next year, we sign the T.  

About his age (28).  A center can play until he is 36 or so, so he could be with us for several more years.

Agree.  If we are going to have a successful season (better than .500 in my mind) than him being healthy and returning to his previous performance level is a necessity.

Let the man take his time if he needs it. He will be ready.

As long as he's ready for training camp, it's all good. That's when we need him to start developing the line's chemistry.
