I saw something about this in another thread, then caught this note on another site :

Quote
  • WR Stephen Hill spent a few minutes under the tent while a trainer looked at his surgically repaired knee. Hill eventually walked back onto the field, but this is the second time his knee has acted up this week. The sense inside the team is he's not close to the same player he was before the injury, which included three torn knee ligaments and a hamstring.

 

 

Can anyone provide any additional correspondence on this? I figured I'd have seen this here 1st since it's the first site I usually reference for updates.

The word between all of us Huddlers is that he's fine.  He tore three ligaments, which is pretty gnarly; I think KB only tore one.  It will take him longer to get back into it.  I think it's perfectly normal that he would have his knee looked at during practice.  Also, I wouldn't look into the bold portion too much.  He probably lost some speed, but he was already fast as hell, so he'll still be above average.

His injury was a lot worse than KB's, so it's going to take him more time to get back to 100%, if he even can.  IMO, Voth didn't even need to include that line, and I'm not really sure why he did.  Of course he's not close to the same player he was.  His knee exploded this time last year... that takes a hell of a lot longer than just an ACL.

He also responded to a tweet asking about Byrd, and his thought is it'd be redundant to have Philly, Ginn and Byrd on the squad. Meaning, if Byrd makes the squad it'll be at Philly's expense.

I saw that, and think it's a dumb comment as well.  They're going to keep the best receivers on the 53.  It would be pretty dumb to keep a lesser receiver, simply because he's "different" than Ginn/Philly.  Even if you only keep 5(KB/Funch/Ginn/Philly/Byrd), you can fill any role necessary with that group.  KB can play 1/2, Funch & Ginn can play all 3, Philly/Byrd can play 2/slot.  There's nothing that isn't covered, and you have all size/speed ranges to do any mixing/matching you want.

No way philly gets cut. Then who is the 5th receiver?

Its sad but I think he will be gone with the first round of cuts. we simply have no room for him. I kinda had this feeling last year, if you go back and see how badly he torn his knee up its no surprise that he will never be the same, and he was a player who relied on speed. I just hope for his sake he doesn't push his knee over the limit these next couple weeks.

Actually, every time I see Norwood in scrimmage video it seems to me he looks really really good. A stronger, younger, faster Cotchery.

Norwood as WR5 wouldn't surprise me a bit.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
