Tillman is in the concussion protocol, but not details on severity

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 2h2 hours ago

Doesn't look like Tillman is practicing. He is in the concussion protocol. There was some confusion Friday.

 

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 2h2 hours ago

Concussion. Peanut is in the protocol. Probably wouldn't have played this week anyway

Rivera says Kony Ealy has earned the second defensive end starting job. "He's seized the opportunity and taken the bull the horns"

 

 

looool coach speak. He makes it sound like Kony has been killing it the past couple of weeks. He was alright Friday but overall, not really....

Last week they said he was on track to play opening day.  He had the boot off one practice and was on the bikes.  Sounds like it's going in the right direction, but still... we won't know until we know, I guess.

Devin Funchess participated fully today. Had a couple drops but the hamstring looked to be OK.

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 7m7 minutes ago

Circling back on yesterday's tweets about Marlowe having a shot to make 53. Gotta amend that now. Rivera very much alluded to psquad today.

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 8m8 minutes ago

Rivera didn't have a timeline on FB/TE Richie Brockel, who's been out with a shoulder injury.

[Mol3m4n]

Brockel is always injured. Smdh.

[KB_fan]

CJ practiced today.  Good news.

Max Henson ‏@PanthersMax 51m51 minutes ago

C. Johnson & Funchess practiced today. Tillman (concussion), Cotchery (groin), Folkerts (ankle) Trusnik (calf) M. White (hamstring) did not.

[KB_fan]

Good... but I kind of wish it was Cam who was throwing...

#Panthers WR Corey Brown stayed after practice catching passes from Derek Anderson.
