I had mine removed in emergency surgery a few years back. I was 33 or so at the time. It wasn’t tough at all. They triangulate the incisions (like three small inch wide incisions in a triangular pattern), then they stitch you up. I think I was limited from heavy lifting/exercise for 2 or 3 weeks after, but I definitely felt like I was capable of doing more before I was allowed. Knowing the NFL they will probably fast track him and say he’s ready by the opener. But if I was Ickey, I probably would sit out the first week. How you feel and what you’re capable of without injuring yourself worse are two different things.

Sheeeit, Jimmy needs to gain 20 pounds.

Yeah, I saw a tweet elsewhere, I think it was one of our best writers, and they said “the ball is in [Hunter Renfrow’s] court.” So sounds like we cut him to get down to the limit and give him time to figure out if he wants to play or not, and if he does, we’ll bring him back.

I heard Nijman was going to start

Well, I do remember Renfrow saying in so many words that it was the Panthers or bust.

Maybe this is a break in a way. I’m sure Icky is a better run blocker, but it’s definitely possible that Brady Christensen is a better pass blocker.

There was one post pooed in this entire thread and you seemed to be having trouble connecting the dots. Just trying to help out.

My lord we can never catch a break. This one is just as odd as Nics collapsed lung. Then of course Princes shoulder. Ugh

Just sit him week 1 and he’ll be fine.

We’re gonna get thumped by Sunshine and the Duval Titans aren’t we?

Luckily, he was likely nearing peak conditioning for the season. Probably won't delay him too much. Getting a week or two of rest before the grind of the NFL season might not be the worst thing for a lineman

If Bryce needs old man AT to know if he is legit or not than he is not legit bro. These WRs need to be ready, whether that is for Bryce or another QB. Besides that im pretty sure Thielen wanted to go, no sense in holding the guy.

I have read here numerous times that CMC didn't want to be traded, at least not at first. All the conflicting information that he wanted to go, or that he was made when they traded him is why I usually ignore most of that stuff.

Conditional 7th must be based on performance or games played, something like that. Knowing Adam we won’t pay that. A 4th and 5th isn’t bad for a guy that will retire soon anyway. Our young WR will have to grow up fast the next few years

but that would make it more infected?

Not that concerned about an appendix.

Seriously? Rub some dirt in it and get back on the field.

hiring matt rhule and giving him full control was maybe the worst singular decision this franchise has ever made outside of Rae Caruth

Vikings bring back WR Thielen from Panthers Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen, conditional 2026 seventh-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick Panthers get: 2026 fifth-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick Vikings grade: A- Panthers grade: C+ The Vikings have re-united with their longtime receiver Adam Thielen. Assuming the conditions of the 2026 pick headed to Minnesota are met, the Vikings will have moved back two rounds in next year's draft and one round in 2027's draft to acquire the single year remaining on the 35-year-old receiver's contract. This is fine business. The Vikings' receiver depth will be tested early this season, as WR3 speedster Jalen Nailor recovers from a hand injury and WR2 Jordan Addison serves a three-game suspension. Depth receiver Rondale Moore had a season-ending knee injury early this offseason, leaving rookie Tai Felton and veteran Tim Jones as the depth behind Justin Jefferson to start the season. Thielen should slot right into a familiar offense and provide a good safety blanket for young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who needs strong early performances in September to boost his confidence and generate some positive momentum. I like the deal a lot for that reason: McCarthy won't spend the first three starts of his NFL career endeavoring to make up for bad receiver play. This is actually a bigger risk for the Panthers than it appears. From Week 8 on last season -- the stretch in which quarterback Bryce Young came back and looked solid -- Thielen was the Panthers' best receiver. Sure, guys like Jalen Coker and Ja'Tavion Sanders were having breakout games, and the backs were getting involved as pass catchers, but it was Thielen who drove the ship. Thielen averaged 2.47 yards per route run in that stretch, which was the 14th best number in the NFL. He also caught 80% of his targets when Coker and Xavier Legette caught 63.2% and 56.4%, respectively. Thielen was so valuable that the Panthers gave him a raise in March worth $1.5 million to encourage him to stave off retirement. The drafting of first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan always foretold a decrease in target share for Thielen. But keeping Thielen around for another year would have helped smooth the transition. Now the Panthers enter the season with a starting receiver trio (McMillan, Coker and Legette) full of big-play potential but no proven chemistry with Young over the middle of the field. That's an important cornerstone of the Panthers' offensive system that needs replacing. -- Solak

I would question that assertion. He stinks.

You guys are such chicken littles. Its a relatively minor procedure. He will miss week one and that's it.

Best news I've heard all day

I don't really care so much about the 4th round pick. The Cap space savings is a bigger benefit.

yall are crazy, we traded the oldest WR in the league, a guy that nearly retired a few months ago, and got a fourth rounder for it. That's insane by Dan.
