Panthers MLB Jon Beason's Achilles' soreness extends back to May.

Beason hasn't practiced yet in training camp and is currently on the non-football injury list. It makes you wonder why the Panthers gave Beason a monster, $50 million extension in late July when he's clearly not 100 percent. They must be awfully confident Beason's injury isn't a long-term concern. Ideally, Beason says he'll be able to resume practicing this week.

Also sorry for fugging up the spelling and making it seem like I'm 4 years old in the thread title.

Beason isn't playing because he has nothing to prove and healing a slight injury is much more important.

His past as far as consistency, productivity and reliability are all reasons he got that contract. I haven't wondered one bit.

guys/gals.. the FO isn't so inept that they just throw contracts at invaluable players..

[Montie_0123]

It was posted at the beginning of trainning camp but he should be back this week now that he's had time to rest.

It's just from him working out all the time in the offseason.

jake delhomme?

[jtnc]

I really hope he can get on the field this week, though. I'm a little worried, but I think he's already back 100 percent. It's just the training staff taking precautions.

what would that be?

[Cape Fear Cat]

I have absolutely no worries about Beason's productivity. When it's game time, Jon will clock in and go to work. If he doesn't get on the field at all in TC, he will still rack up 120+ tackles this season. There's a reason we all call him Beast. Beast ain't no shirker or shrinking violet, laying out just cause he got a little tweak. What's happening now is just the staff being cautious.

what would that be?

The purpose was to make cap space. The secondary reason for the contract was to pay delhomme for past performance.

never ceases to amaze me how little people know about their favorite team..
