According to multiple sources, cornerback Charles Tillman has been dealing with a partially torn ACL. Both he and the Panthers have been tight-lipped about his status the past few weeks, but their fingers were crossed that he could return by the end of the season. With Benwikere done for the year, the Panthers may not have the luxury to wait.

Coach Ron Rivera said Monday the team wanted to see how Tillman's knee would respond during Wednesday's practice. Unless it improves greatly over the next 24 hours, the Panthers are planning to promote Lou Young from the practice squad with Tillman likely headed for injured reserve.

I was just about to post this... Can someone please explain why this week would be a determining factor on whether or not to place him on IR? It doesn't make any sense to me. Why are they trying to hurry him back now with 3 weeks left to rest?

Because they need bodies now, not in the playoffs.

Mostly because of Bene's injury.

They will need a CB  now and will need the roster spot going to IR opens up?

I already asked this question to Voth, will see if I get an answer.  It doesn't make much sense to me, it would seem more reasonable to cut another position and save Tillman's knee til playoffs and not IR him.

I think Voth is completely wrong regarding IR. There's literally no reason that tomorrow's practice would be the end all be all for his status for the rest of the season. If he's not ready tomorrow he could still be ready in a week, or two, or three or four. Thinking Young will be brought up with another move made like Bersin to PS or something else.

I don't believe that.  He doesn't usually guess or use his personal opinion without strong confirmation from the team.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
