Any update on MKG?

Has anyone heard an update on MKG and his status or timetable for return?

Also, can anyone explain what exactly a stress reaction is and its severity?

It's a hairline fracture in a bone. Severity? Relatively minor but it can become severe if not properly treated. Just needs rest.

I'm sure you saw Kevin Ware's leg snap in half versus Duke. That's what happens when a stress fracture gives out. Same thing with Julius Randle. Scary thoughts because it's pretty easy to go undetected.

So, yeah, it's a pretty non-significant injury as long as you allow it proper time to heal. Otherwise it will keep getting worse until something breaks.

What causes it? No clue. I'm sure the excessive running and jumping on hardwood floors by oversized men has something to do with it. Bones aren't made to take that abuse.

Yeah, it sucks that MKG is out because of something so minor. But I'd rather him rest a few weeks and let it heal than potentially breaking his foot and missing months.

Preciate the detail. I really hate it for MKG as he had a lot to prove before the fall in NY and now this.

Sounds legit... do I know anything about it? No but I'll take your word for it.

 

Hope he gets right soon. We need to start stringing some wins together.

I don't know that much about it either. I just know that a stress reaction/fracture is a similar injury. Common sense says that you need time and rest to let it heal or you risk pushing the fracture to a literal breaking point.

Hopefully it isn't something that will linger. MKG gets hurt enough from his style of play without adding these types of things. It sucks because he looked like Scottie Pippen the first 3 games. He's still so young and full of upside.

Upside is one thing but to actually improve, as he has done, is something you have to love. He's a baller and I'm very glad he's on our team. You need to post more man. This forum could use a little more intelligent and positive discussion.

He's always had a relentless motor to match his ability and potential, which is why I loved the pick. Worst case you get a 15+ year SF who is a great defender. If he reaches his potential and continues to improve his offense he will be a All-Star.

I stay away for the most part. There's usually too much stupid in here.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
