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.

      I miss many of the OGs like @ladypanther Zob had a bad off week and came in here to do some mopping and a couple of the 10 year 15k post account he just banned over a silly disagreement, just odd behavior from Zob. A Pessimal deal happened with Lady and others. I tired to find a new forum and could not get around the signing up part...same for discord. Its not perfect here by any means, but I still feel welcomed here for the most part and this place does have the most freedom. I hate how the right vs left BS nearly cooked this place, I still believe in removing the litterbox, toxic as hell and lollolols @ anyone coming into a team forum to talk about pointless politics of the uni party turds.  @Bear Hands you saved this place with your activity. It helped offset the lost of OGs and the knowledgeable that leftd.    It would help for new members and I do get the spammers deals, just got to mod them away and hope opening the door brings in fresh blood.

      That seems about right. No higher than that for a bottom third qb with two years left, including one expensive year. He played well enough last year to show he is startable. It depends on whether other teams thought he has any upside left and whether he's been hindered by coaching and surrounding cast. I think most teams would answer no, but if they thought he could step it up just a little I could see trading a fourth or fifth for a bridge guy/top tier backup.
