This foot re-injury story does not add up....it's a smokescreen.

Cam showed no signs of an injury in the game. 

If he was injured the Panthers were obligated to provide an In-Game Injury Report (there was none).

Cam walked normally after the game, wore his normal street shoes, no boot was required.

If there really is a tweak/injury it must be WAY less serious than the original sprain, this is the good news.

Last time there were x-rays taken, a boot was utilized, the GM provided an update the next day ("We are cautiously optimistic he will be ready for Week 1.") including a probable time-line for return.  Cam returned to practice, albeit with limited participation, 4-days after the Patriots game.

We've established that if there is a tweak of the sprain it's less serious than the original injury and here we are just finding out about it on day-5?  And he can't practice and there's zero disclosure on a probable time-frame, etc...?

Doesn't add up.  This is a smokescreen....

....eventually the smoke will clear and we will learn the truth.

Smokescreen for what?

I can think of two options:

1. He really has fallen out of love with the game and the team is using the foot as cover to give him time to figure what he wants to do. It going public that he is have mental issues would not be good for him. He admitted to battling some depression last year.

2. It’s actually the shoulder and we don’t want other teams to know it’s the shoulder.

I really hope it’s option 3 and it’s just the foot, but the OP is right that foot thing doesn’t really add up. Possible he did hurt it a little but I have a hard time seeing it being hurt enough to completely prevent him from playing.

teams simply  don't disclose all injuries on an injury report.  We know that is a fact.  As our own players when the season has ended have then admitted to all sorts of injuries that they played with for weeks.  And team clearly was aware.

How long is the mod crew planning on letting OP drag this alt out? How much idiocy do you need to see?

If the team was aware of injuries and didn’t report it the union would have a field day

      Tetairoa McMillan - Your 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year - (Welp... Guess I Was Right)

      See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase.

      Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team. Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
