Week 2 Monday Injury Report

The Carolina Panthers did not practice on Monday, but they are required to provide an injury report approximation ahead of Thursday Night Football against Tampa Bay.

Three players were listed with "did not participate" designations: TE Greg Olsen (back), DE Bruce Irvin (hamstring) and DB Rashaan Gaulden (groin).

Rookie offensive tackle Greg Little (concussion) was listed as a full participant, but he has not yet cleared the protocol.

Btw...Manhertz did not impress.  Had penalties and missed assignments in blocking.  Olsen was solid, got open, and should have had 2-3 more catches except for throwing errors.

As much as I agree that Olsen is on the verge of retirement, we need at least one competent TE on the field.

Thomas has all of the tools, but he’s proven nothing.

I’m concerned that Olsen being out will cause Cam to make some bad decisions.

Hope it’s just a minor issue.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
