Predictions re: Horton and his status

[KB_fan]

Saw today in the practice tweets that Horton's suspension is over and that he's practicing again.  Apparently the Panthers don't need to make a decision on his status for a week. 

I'm really curious as to what the team will do... I've been wondering if his absence has been hurting our performance against the run.  It seemed from a tweet by Horton that the team has made it clear he's being given a second chance.  It doesn't sound like we're about to release him.

But I've no idea who we'd waive to activate him.

Thoughts?  Predictions?

Here are the key tweets re: Horton today

Panthers DE Wes Horton back from 4-game suspension. Currently has exempt status, meaning he can practice but hasn't been activated yet.

 

Max Henson ‏@PanthersMax 8h8 hours ago

DE Wes Horton was back at practice today after serving suspension. Panthers have week-long exemption period before needing to make a move.

Wes Horton won't say what he tested positive for. Was worried Panthers wouldn't have him back, but got another chance.

Happy to be back with the team. Now it's time to earn the right to stay!

He is useful as far as a run stopper. After being raped for 160+ against the Giants. we could use him. Won't help with the pass rush....that's a story for the draft and next season.

We didn't have him when we played Atlanta and we won't need him for the bucs.. He didn't stand out and I see him being released again like earlier this year .. Delaire should be active for our last game after his showing against his former team

One thing I really like about Ron is he'll give you a second chance. Frank got one, and Stephen Hill got one. Hell, there's many on here who would've gotten rid of these guys after the first screw up. 

Ron's a good man.

Think Frank has run out of chances. Up in smoke so to speak.

I agree....as long as it isn't a "chronic" problem, he should stick around a while.
