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 originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
