so much for mark jones...

[rayzor]

failed the physical.

per david scott tweet...

davidscott14 Returner Mark Jones fails #Panthers physical Monday...won't re-sign with team. Says he hopes it'll improve soon.

[SorthNarolina]

We'll have to take our lumps with the younger guys but they will be better returners in the long run.

If the problem never gets better maybe we should put smith back there again? I'm talking about if we're desperate it would work.

[carolinarolls]

still doesn't bode well for the confidence in the options.

wonder what it was

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Hammy, i'd imagine.

It was hamstring that he was having trouble with right?

[hdevonxz]

you have to really messed up to fail a physical.

that's what i was thinking. it had been giving him problems for a good bit of the offseason.

i don't think the door is closed completely. if he gets healthy and the young guys obviously can't handle it then we will see him again. we'll probably know for sure by the bye week. we'll also know who is the most expendable on the roster by that time to make room for him.

hammy issues......you also gotta be really desperate to try to bring Jones in imo considering his health this preseason and lack of playmaking ability.

This...... His hammy must have been very bad. Well for the people that didnt want him you got your wish.

[rayzor]

i want what's best for the team. he had a few strikes against him.

the need is still there, i just didn't think that he was the best person for it....not that the best person is on the team.

i didn't see him overall being enough of an upgrade to warrant making a sacrifice elsewhere.

in three weeks i might feel differently. i'm willing to go with what we have right now to see unless there is a diamond that falls from the sky into our laps.

[scpanther22]

two more PS signings

announce two more PS names: C Justin Frye (Clemson, Browns camp) and CB Marcus Walker (Oklahoma, Vikings camp). One spot left.

Thank you. Now coach up the youngsters.

[Darth Biscuit]

Wow, I've been out all day and I missed this... too bad, I liked Jones a lot for what he provided for us last year... hopefully he can get it healed and if we have trouble we can bring him in later.

[Kyle82]

Poor dude....I bet he feels like a pinball.

[Mr. Scot]

Not necessarily out completely. Could just be delayed until he heals up some.
