CHARLOTTE -- The Carolina Panthers sound confident that defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu's ankle injury isn't serious, but they're auditioning a few players at his position just in case.

They worked out defensive tackles Tim Anderson and LaJuan Ramsey on Tuesday, keeping an eye on potential reinforcements.

Kemoeatu suffered a sprained right ankle Sunday, and wasn't able to finish the win over Denver. The next day, he was on crutches and in a walking boot, which team officials termed precautionary. When asked about Kemoeatu's sprained right ankle Monday, Panthers coach John Fox expressed optimism.

tough call....do we rest him so that he can be healthy for the playoffs or work him so that we can get the homefield advantage?

he's better be healthy if he plays. we can't afford to be without him. we really need another giant DT next year to at least back him up.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
