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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
