Cam to see foot specialist

It is unclear whether this is just a regular check up or if it is not healing properly/suffered a setback and he is going there to look at other options. Obviously hoping for the former.

The doctor he is going to see is Dr. Robert Anderson who used to be based in Charlotte and was the Panthers team physician until a couple years ago. He is considered to be the top foot specialist in the country and NFL players from all over regularly travel to see him if they have foot issues.

I dont think you travel halfway across country to see a specialist if you're not having issues

Luke saw a brain specialist in Pittsburgh after his concussion in 2016 and we all know he didn't play the rest of that season.

Wouldn't be surprised if Cam's out the rest of the season hearing this news.

Could be a part of his standard rehab. It’s also possible that it’s a setback. A foot injury is a strange beast. Just ask Olsen. We actually talked about this on our podcast a couple of months ago, that this foot thing could linger. Particularly with his brand of play.

But again, just have to see what reporting comes out of it later today.

Could be he is getting it amputated.

Could be he had a setback

Could be a final checkup before he returns to practice.

People fly half way across the country for much less important things.

I feel like he could just get that in Charlotte...no? Has he been seeing this specialist all along? I guess we don't really know.

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
