Yeah I wouldn’t IR him. If he’s not ready by the IR designated to return list date I’d cut him and take chances with Slye 

There is no generic IR return date. The date is established when the player is placed on IR.

So could wasting one of two designate to return. I’m actually a fan of gano as far as kickers go he gives you something not too many kickers in the league can give. But that knee is not right, soreness like this doesn’t last over a month. I think it’s something serious and that is more worrisome to me then going with Slye unfortunately. It’s definitely a tricky situation. 

You do realize we wouldn't have to designate him until midseason, right?  So if Slye looks good then we wouldn't be wasting a return, we could release him then.

Releasing him now without knowing how Slye will do in regular season would be a stupid thing to do.

Hearing from sources that #Panthers kicker Graham Gano’s knee injury doesn’t seem to be getting better and that this could be a situation where the team puts him on IR early, in hopes of getting him back later in the season. #keeppounding

We would have to keep Gano on the roster when we cut to 53 on Saturday.

We’d have to bump someone off the 53. Hope they clear waivers. Depending on what player were risking I could give a better opinion. I still stand with the knee not being right for over a month is a major cause for concern.

I should have specified more clearly, but with the return designation added is what I was referring to. You only get two, anyone who knows anything about the Panthers knows their history with IR and learning from mistakes. Let's leave it at that.

Wtf does this even mean lol

If the Panthers get rid of Slye and keep Gano I will write a profanity laced letter straight to the owner
