Anyone have info on Beason?

[ProfessorPeppers]

I know Beason got hurt tonight but I missed it. Have they given any updates on him I may have missed?

Otah was hurt as well, but it didn't seem very serious at all, he was walking around the sidelines shortly after coming out of the game, where as Beason was shown on the sidelines wearing a full leg brace.

holy crap i didn't see that, I'm watching the dolphins network

goodson seemed shaken up too.

Beason bumped his knee on a tackle. They took him out and put it in a brace but he's still on the sideline watching. Nothing else has been said about him so I can only assume it was nothing serious, that it is somehow related to the same injuires he's been dealing with all through TC, and that they just don't want to take any chances with him tonight.

I could be wrong, but that's how I'd call it right now.

We need a new DT now.

I don't know anything about the injury than what's been posted but I liked that little piece they did on him at halftime... He's such a natural leader, you can just tell.

I hope this knee thing is nothing and they're just resting him. Connor and Anderson have looked solid so far, but it's still preseason and we NEED Beason.

How come after reading this I feel that it's not gonna be all right?

[Sam Mills Fan]

He was sitting on the sidelines hooting and hollering and laughing at one point. I doubt it's serious.

"We'll get some tests done tomorrow and see what happens," Beason said. "I was getting off a block and I'm not sure if someone came at me intentionally or if they fell on it. I'm assuming someone fell on it."

[Panther Boyd]

ESPN said 4-6 weeks with knee injury.

With what you've seen so far, can Conner fill the void until he's back?

[Guest CatofWar]

I'll get an MRI tomorrow and see what it says. I played two or three plays after (the injury occurred), so it should be fine."

(Does it feel stable?): "Yes. They checked it out. It felt good. Just want to get the tests to be sure."

(How did you hurt it?): "It was on a block. I don't know if someone came in to block me or if someone fell. I'm pretty sure someone fell or got tossed into (the side of the knee)."

(What's the overall prognosis?): "I’m sure it won’t be anything major because I kept playing on it. That’s what’s most encouraging to me."

I won't believe anything until I see something official from the panthers. If it is the 4-6 week variety, then he could miss as little as week 1, to week 3...so my hope is that Beason is OK, and we can get a space hogger who can protect him from those blockers.

[joemac]

Well, the good news is that we have 3 weeks until the season starts, so even if he misses some time, it may only be a game or 2 in the regular season. Also, this 4-6 week poo is coming from Mort, so take it with a full shaker of salt.
