Donte Jackson likely OUT vs Houston

[GoPanthers123]

Without knowing for sure I won’t bet on this game because Jackson could be the difference between two outcomes.

Bruh, we REALLY need Donte out there against Fuller and Stills. I don't like hearing this.

I’m not getting my hopes up, how many DEs have we seen come out of nowhere and have an excellent game, only to disappear after that. (Looking at you Obada)

This is by far the biggest injury of the weekend (outside of Cam).

 

Houston has 2 of the fastest WR in the league (Fuller & Stills).  They routinely run 9 routes.  Jackson is our only corner with enough speed to match them.  It's very concerning to have Cockrell or Elliot or anyone else on either of them.   Expect them to attack us deep early and often.

 

Any thoughts on how to mitigate this?

 

Fake news. Washington said he is playing.

He hasn't been ruled out for Sunday.

If Jackson doesn’t play we lose. He was a perfect matchup for the Houston WR without him I think we gets exposed

I thought Ron said he was optimistic he would play

Could be gamesmanship so the Texans won’t know until an hour before the game that he is not going to play. Otherwise they have 2 days to scheme up how to attack his replacement.

I learned a long time ago not to trust coaches or players when they talk about injuries. Coaches lie about injuries all the time in order not to give the opponent an edge and they teach players to lie about them too.

There’s a reason why we didn’t rule Cam out until Friday before the Cards game. Ron full well knew Cam wasn’t going to play. Kingsbury even said on Wednesday they were preparing as if Cam would play. So they lost 3 practices where they could have been preparing solely for Allen rather than prepping for Cam while also prepping for Allen just in case.

kyle allen is a 2 way player.  he can play cb at a pro-bowl level also.   that's why he's gonna be getting $60 mil/yr

Meh.  If he could play QB and LT, now that would be impressive.

Damn, that sucks

A low speed cb is a trash.let him take a rest plz,i don't want to see him go IR.

They will rub icy hot all over his groin tonight. By sunday he should be ready to go.

I doubt they will do much scheming for a backup CB. There really is little advantage to saying he is likely to play if he isn't. If he isn't there, then they will try to test his replacement. No major game planning needed.
