Steve Smith sprained knee week to week

[Happy Panther]

If he is going to be back in 3 weeks it must be pretty mild.

Huge news!  Having a playoff bye is now even bigger than it was before the injury.  Ice up, Smitty.  Ice up!

[TheRed]

Steve is a warrior. Give him this week off, but when the playoffs start, I don't think anyone will be able to keep him off the field.

Thank you LAAWD!

Glad Smitty didn't try to play through it. There could have been serious consequences.

I say we don't know the whole truth or aren't getting it; he is probably done for the year

i say you've just been told the truth but are just too negative and pessimistic accept that the sky, in fact, is not really falling.

If Shula doesn't go full retard, we should be able to beat the Falcons without Smitty. Get that 1st round bye and heal up.

age has brought with it maturity and wisdom to know that there is a bigger picture to consider when hurt. you push through it and you very well could make things much worse. among other things, being a man means not living under the illusion that there are no limits to what you are able to do, knowing where those limits are, and living iwthin them.

Huge, Panthers needed this. I thought it would be a worse

 

Ice up Smitty

[CRA]

Makes winning at Atl huge.

Would give 89 a bye week

[TheRumGone]

Yeah its technically 3 weeks if we fet the bye which is pretty much a month. This is great news if true. I want smitty on this run. Never know what can happen in the future.

[swoonychic]

I will admit when I saw him limp off I was scared. Im so thankful to hear it's not serious. Smitty is not only a vital piece to our offense, but he has stayed loyal to this team through it all, and if we made it to the big game without him on the field it would break my heart.

 

I hate to see him hurt, but I think previous posters are correct- this is the best possible outcome. We can take care of the dirty birds without him, and give him an extra week to heal with the bye. He will be back and ready to thrown down in the playoffs!

[ncsfinest21]

Bye week and a refreshed Smitty. Ill take that. Heal up my dude. We coming for that Lombardi
