Coach Rivera said in the press conference today that they would check his foot in the morning. If no swelling had occured from today's training session he would get an increased work load tomorrow. Rinse... repeat... all week long. 

I seriously doubt he is back this week. Would be amazing. 

I doubt he will be back next week. 

My guess is we will see him back against the Saints in week 3 at BoA. Important divisional game that is always close at home.

ease him back. he's important but we're deep.

Sorry, but don't see the depth you speak of. This team needs all its starters to have a chance at the playoffs.

Not sure how anyone would call the Panthers deep at any position outside of QB. Most teams have quality starters as depth. That is not the case in Carolina, and opposing teams will exploit that fact.

we might not be deep at nose tackle but we are deep along the defensive line in general. CJ demands two blockers, KK demands two blockers. this gives one-on-one matchups to whoever's rotating at RDE and whoever's at NT, unless either of those are elected for extra attention, in which case one of our other pro-bowl caliber rushers just has to beat a man.

add in the best linebacker corps in the league to plug any leaks and i'm far from worried.

I agree with letting him rest. If we can't beat the Jags, we just plain suck. Any given Sunday, yes...but we're talking about the Jags. 

Im really thinking that the addition of Shaq will allow Luke to be in more blitz packages as Tillman and Shaq can cover bigger receivers across the middle.

Star is a hole plugger for sure but any of our backups can play that role until he gets back to 100%.

I do not think you understand what roster depth is for a team. CJ and KK are not depth.

Dwan Edwards, Colin Cole, Kyle Love, Mario Addison, and Wes Horton. That is the depth. Can you put a formidable front up with any 4 of that group? And we have had this issue since 2011. Expecting different results by doing the same things is Gettleman/Rivera motto.

The LBs do not plug leaks. The DL keeps bodies off the LBs to allow them to move and get to the ball. A poor DL will decline the performance of even the best LB in the league.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
