Have the Panthers changed their injury reporting policies?

[SBiii]

In the space of 2-weeks the list has gone from 6-players to 14-players....

....coincidence?

Or, given the kerfuffle with Cam, are the Panthers now being more stringent about toeing the NFL line on injury reporting requirements?

Going forward, what will the requirement be for allowing players to suit up and get onto the field?  Is 100% the minimum?  Or will players be allowed to go at something less than 100% if they so choose?

What say ye?

Hurney loves to stack IR full so his excuse is ready.

Fire him.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

100% healthy isn't a realistic standard for being eligible to play on game day.

Teams would have to double the size of their rosters and even then that might not be enough spare bodies.

So 6-> 14 players.

2 are listed as rest.  Now down to 12.

2 received a concussion in the last game.  10.

Chris Hogan and Eric Reid very obviously hurt themselves in the last game for the injuries listed.  8.

3 players are listed as full participants in practice. 5.

I am not really seeing what the issue is.

Can't wait until in a few days when the injury report shrinks from the full participants and rest guys.  

"Just a few days ago there were 14 people on injury report. Now we are down to nearly half that.  Is Ron forcing injured to players to play in a game, because his job is on the line?  

Fire Hurney"

[Bartin]

The guys on the report are being held out of practice. I guarantee you we were never holding guys out of practice and not listing them on the injury report.

This dude has a strange obsession with the injury report 

[Khyber53]

There's always a bit of gamesmanship on early week injury reports. It usually happens later in the year, but this has been an odd year for everyone.

Indeed.

short's shoulder is the kind of thing you see if will respond to rest. things in medicine get better in 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months. With kk, that's absolutely an injury where you see if it gets better in two weeks, then you just go ahead and shut it down. If you can't punch or push as a lineman, you're kinda useless. and with something of that extent, you don't just need surgery but the rehab and the strength training. that just takes time. 

hogan's is in a similar situation, but he's a receiver so it's feasible he could be good to go in two months after surgery.

hamstring is a huge muscle. it takes a long time to get better and effects both the knee and hip. nothing out of the ordinary for irvin

Jackson is basically a sprinter playing DB. He's going to pull his groin (and hamstrings) a lot. It's just how he's built, and was actually a worry of mine. I hope they put him on a serious stretching routine, but track athletes like that are actually pretty good about warming up and stretching. seriously, if you ever get the chance to do a track warmup with someone who knows what they're doing, that'll wear you out before you even get running. 

Samuel a similar thing, but he's just got a rest day.

burns hurt his wrist blocking a punt. there's not much you can do about that. i was kinda worried he didn't come back in. There are small bones in the wrist you can break that force teams to shut you down immediately. has he practiced this week?

big dudes still have small ankles, and that'll do dmg to guys like trai turner. 

people love to bitch about "the training staff" and they really dont know what they're talking about. like with cam, he's got a midfoot break. it's a bone. it has poor blood supply. how would that have been avoided? how could that be rehabbed faster? do you really think you're smarter than the best ortho surgeons in the world?

Burns came back in after the blocked punt

He definitely became a situational player after the injury. The good news is that he was in on the last pay of the game. Delivered a huge hit on Watson (that personally I thought we would get flagged for)
