Smh...  just when it feels like we have it all coming together.

We started 15 with a major injury in camp too.

With that said, s--t

At least it wasnt a non contact injury, pray it’s only a minor setback 

When a big dude goes down with a knee injury and literally starts screaming, it's not *always* an ACL tear, but it does seem like it usually is.

Panthers RT Daryl Williams was carted off the field Saturday.

Williams was said to go down in a tremendous amount of pain and immediately surrounded by teammates. Williams, 26 in August, has developed into one of the top tackles in the league and was sure to command a premium five-year deal from the Panthers with this upcoming season being his contract year. Time will tell on his status, but Carolina could be without both him and Andrew Norwell, who signed a $66.5 million deal with the Jaguars this offseason, on the right side of the trenches.

KB going down seemed bigger, but losing Daryl is so much worse for what is already an injury-plagued OL.  Cam's inconsistency comes in large part from when he has a shaky OL (crazy right)...not good. 

[Boundary Guru]

Welp. Isn't that just some sh!t news.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Lets hope this is a similar situation to Vernon Butler's injury last pre-season.

Damn. Sorry to hear this, fellas. Luckily it's at T where you have Moton, but Williams is a mauler. Hope it's not as serious as it sounds.

Jesus Christ. This one is tough. Hopefully is not as bad as being let on. Hurney needs to get a tackle. We're thin.

[Chief Keek]

Good grief, hopefully Moton is able to step up.

Bad thing though is that anybody who isn't already on a roster by this point probably doesn't help you much.

If you want to get somebody that's quality, about the only option is a trade, and you have to give up something reasonably valuable to get a good one.

I'd say it's more likely they just go with Taylor Moton at this point. Yeah tackle is thin, but these days that's probably true of nearly every team across the league.

Thank god we got Moton. Next man up. God I'm talking to you Van Roten or Larsen

A torn meniscus could be the situation, too. That hurts like nothing else (tore mine a year and a half ago), but it is something that is easier to come back from than an ACL injury. I hope the prognosis is even lighter than that, but big guys still have the same size knees as the little ones. 

Sending up a prayer he recovers fully, but I wouldn't expect him back in the first half of the season if at all, unless this is just a bad sprain. 

Somebody is going to get an opportunity here and I hope they can make the most of it.
