Kemo has a torn achilles.

Jeez, I hate to see anyone lost for the season, but it especially sucks for someone to go down in the opening days of camp. Normally that would be the lone silver lining - that you'd theoretically have lost less time prepping a new starter since it happened so early - but the depth situation sure sucks balls. I remember when we lost Hollis last year it just snowballed out of control going forward.

Hopefully you guys have better luck with the injury bug than we had last year.

Anyway Kemo can make it back by mid-season and not put him on IR?

I would consider that highly unlikely, both considering what was injured and Kemo's size. That's a lot of weight and torque to be putting on the base of a person's foundation, no matter the profession. For someone whose job is built around burst from a down position, I can't at all see him coming back this season

you have your own crap to worry about. Hopefully matt ryan doesn't happen to break a leg or suffer a spleen injury this year. That would be terrible.

wtf?

If there was a "good" time for this happen then now is it. It sucks that it has happened but thats life (and sport). These things happen.

with all this drama this offseason the panthers would be a good team to do the hardknocks show on

:nopity:

im glad it happen early....favorite stepped up today.maybe if he keeps improving he might get that spot.

[Baschski]

This really sucks. I don't think it's wise to downplay the injury; Kemo was extremely important to our run defense last year. Hopefully one of the backups can step up big time. Another thought, consider this:

What if Meeks moves Brayton inside permanently and gives Brown a shot to start opposite Peppers?

If we dnt get anyone to step up, were gnna get ran on all season. So the offense better get ready to put up them big numbers again and that's sad cuz we r a conservative team thats gnna have to get away from our identity. Sooo disappointing!!!!

[Kyle82]

It's called football and freakish things happen....get well soon big man!

[AKPantherFan]

aahhhhhh... The Huddle...

I missed the over-reaction this place brings...

No sense in getting all worked up over it. We have to improvise, adapt, and overcome.

Be glad it happened when it did. We have a lot of time to recover from this before a real game.

All NFL teams across America are dealing with injuries. If you look at the headlines on Yahoo, people are getting hurt left and right. We're not the only ones.
