I never even thought about the fact that he was practicing and not signed to the team yet. I wonder if a rookie has ever gotten hurt before he had a contract and the team was like "Ummm nevermind"

These days most players sign a participation agreement before practicing so it will cover the player should they get hurt.  And with rookie contracts the way they are, most teams would still honor a rookie contract on a injured player.  The only change is they would probably defer the signing bonus until several years later.

Dante Fowler hadn't signed (and still hasn't) when he tore his acl. Signed waivers though so they have to honor the commitment and he'll still get a fully guaranteed 4 year contract.

Nah he signed on the weekend I think

 

Correct.  It's reported that all 5 draft picks are signed.  Funchess was the last.  Speedy signing by past years' standards, though this is a small draft class.  Here's details per BBR:

 

@BlackBlueReview

Took #Panthers 26 days to sign ’13 draft class. It was 25 days in ’14. It was 9 this year.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      If you're going to try and hold me saying he looks like crap in during his rookie year against me vs me trying to stay positive in the present and say that the hourly posting shitting on him is annoying and confusing because who the hell spends that much time on something they don't enjoy, I can't really help you. you're exaggerating and holding onto the past like a female. you just said in another thread that his excellent games vs the Rams has you feeling guilty for feeling any positivity. that is some true loser stuff right there, definitely not someone that is a fan of something. keep trying.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be
