A back issue led to Olsen’s spot on the report, but it does not look like it will keep him from facing the Cowboys. According to multiple reports, Olsen is expected to play on Sunday.

The Panthers also listed right tackle Daryl Williamsas questionable to play due to the dislocated kneecap he suffered during training camp. Williams was initially expected to miss games due to the injury, but he’s made a quick recovery and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports he is “looking good” to be in the lineup.

I think its a mistake to start d williams so early after that knee injury,  if he does play i hope he doesnt re injure or make it a lot worse

 

Its sounding like greg will be a gametime descision  but i dont think ron wants the cowboys to know ahead of time greg might not play and gameplan around it

It is shocking to see Williams play but of the doctors say he is good to go what can you do in that situation? We only have 16 games and the division could come down to a single game. Tough decision for Rivera but I cannot say I wouldn’t make the same decision if he has been cleared

i just wonder to what extent he's been "cleared"

im concerned that rivera thinks he's doing him a favor by letting him play since this is obviously a very important year for williams. im also concerned that the staff is letting the sad state of the line influence this decision. part of being a coach is protecting players from themselves and it's going to be terrible if williams further injures his knee and has his career derailed.

 I feel you but our staff has to be one who puts no pressure on one to play think back to Ryan K last year if you're cleared that's it there's no levels you either can play or not I think he'll be fine nobody would risk their career these days I don't think. If he needed a week or two he'd get it but he's been practicing pain free all week time to goto work.

  Ive had many of the same concerns already mentioned. But if they are willing to play him, I trust he is at least 85%. This staff sat Cam for an opener. And he could have played. So if they are willing to risk Williams season, I’m taking it as a sign he is close to healthy.

I don’t believe they would sacrifice his long term health for one game if he was not ready. We still want him in our long term plans, and Rivera has typically never rushed players back from injuries before they are ready to go. Look at Kalil last year, and Luke even after he was cleared from concussions.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
