Quintin Mikell?

What happened to Quintin Mikell? He just kind of quietly fell off the roster in the offseason, and doesn't seem to be on a team at the moment. He played in 14 games last year. I don't remember him being awful. He had 59 tackles and 2 forced fumbles.

 

What gives? Did he retire? Was he injured? I understand all the players leaving in free agency for bigger contracts, but it seems like we would have brought him back for OTA's or something.

 

Did I miss some news? 

 

PS: Sorry for all my dumb secondary questions this week.

Apparently he is recovering from an injury and has all but retired. I read that somewhere, but cannot rememberwhere at this moment.

 

Edit found it:

 

 

 

Mikell had offseason foot surgery and told Philly Sports Talk he is all but retired.

Panthers SS Quintin Mikell suffered a foot injury in Sunday's Divisional Round game versus San Francisco and will not return.
Undrafted rookie Robert Lester will finish out the game at strong safety. The extent is unknown, but Mikell is an impending free agent and turns 34 years old before next season. A Lisfranc injury could end his career.

my bad. I thought Harper was replacing Mitchell... Shows you how much I care if Roman makes the team or not

Decoud is hopefully doing that. He's the reclamation project.

 

Harper is just the veteran blitzing strong safety. H

It went crazy when all the injuries happened in Buffalo.  Originally it was Godfrey at FS, Mitchell at SS.  After the injury, Mitchell moved to FS and they pulled Lester off the practice squad where he and Mikell split time at SS.  

 

I kind of like Harper for rushing downs and blitz packages.  Coverage, not so much.  If he has any injuries past this turf toe though, you probably won't have to worry too much about him.  He'll be IR'd and gone next season.

      My read is they intended to try and get points but that first run and usage of the clock was done to hedge against things going poorly. Basically they shouldn't need all that time to score since they had multiple timeouts. Dirting that second play put us in a no-win situation. Sure you can run on 3rd down but ARI had timeouts so they still likely get the same result.

      I never said he had a good game in the Denver game.  As you said we had a good first drive ending in Bryce throwing a slant to XL for a TD.  It was garbage time but the back shoulder throw to Coker for the late TD was a great throw.   Throws like these in bad games are why I say he "can" do it and has the physical tools.  The question is can he do it consistently, continue to improve, grow and become our QB of the future.  Up to this point that was a hard no but with a new head coach and Bryce in his 2nd year it was 100% the right call to play out the year and see if he got better.  He did.   Two games into this year is still more of the up and down quality of play and coaching but there is still plenty of potential and we have 16 more games to decide if it's worth it to continue down this path. I don't know what will happen but I know cutting him or benching him now makes zero sense on any level. I said of those last 10 games we were only blown out in 2 of them.  I'll concede the Denver game was a blow out.  So 3 blowout loses and 7 competitive games, 4 of which we won, all decided by less than a TD.  Sounds like a team growing, improving and getting better.  All I want to do is see where that leads and if those examples of starting NFL level quarterbacking can continue to improve and become more consistent.   Anyone with pride would retire?  Laughable.  Do all of you quit in your daily lives every time things get tough or don't go your way?
