Injuries?

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’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
