Here's a good injury run down from BBR

http://blackandbluereview.com/panthers-post-patriots-health-watch-notes-quotes/

  • LG Andrew Norwell and RG Trai Turner were each dinged up on the first team offense’s final drive. Trainers wrapped ice around Norwell’s right ankle as soon as he came out and Turner was treated for a stinger.
  • RB Fozzy Whittaker and LB A.J. Klein also appeared to suffer stingers.
  • LB Thomas Davis walked to the locker room late in the third quarter with ice bags on both knees. He did seem to be in good spirits as he glanced into the crowd before he headed in.
  • LB Jeremy Cash went inside late in the third quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. The UDFA didn’t record a statistic, but he appeared with the No. 1 punt, punt return and kickoff return teams before he came in with the second team defense. Cash did tweet this after the game:  (tweet from Cash saying he's fine and looking forward to week ahead)
  • P Mike Scifres, who was making his preseason debut, injured his kicking leg when he was run into by Patriots’ DB Brandon King. After the penalty, Scifres stayed on for the redo, but his punt went just 21 yards. Kasey Redfern replaced Scifres the rest of the way.
  • TE Greg Olsen was held out, despite coach Ron Rivera hinting during the week that the Pro Bowler might play after getting over back spasms.  “It was decided during the week we weren’t going to play him, we were just going to work him hard,” Rivera said. “He’s going to work hard this week as we prepare for the next game and the opener.”
  • S Travell Dixon, who practiced twice this week after suffering a chest injury Saturday in Tennessee, didn’t play. With Trenton Robinson (pec), Dean Marlowe (hamstring) and Marcus Ball (knee) also out, the Panthers had just three safeties active (Kurt Coleman, Tre Boston, Colin Jones).
  • WR Philly Brown, who took a hit on his surgically repaired left shoulder during Tuesday’s practice, was held out.
  • DE Rakim Cox (back), OL Chris Scott (shoulder) and WR LaRon Byrd (concussion) also didn’t dress.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
