Should be back for the first game but still...

 

Replacing Greg Olsen at tight end is not going to be easy for the Carolina Panthers and now, the guy that is expected to fill in as his replacement, Ian Thomas, is out with an injury.

Panthers head coach Matt Rhule briefly provided an update on Thomas' status and the severity of the injury.

"Ian hurt his toe at the end of the last practice. I think they MRI'd it and it was nothing serious, just a hyperextended toe so he should hopefully be back. Depending on how his rehab goes, he should be back here pretty soon."

Should Thomas get back in time for the start of the regular season, he is expected to be the no. 1 tight end on the depth chart. If he is not able to go, Chris Manhertz would be the next guy in line followed by Temarrick Hemingway.

During the first two years of Thomas' career, he has hauled in 52 receptions for 469 yards and three touchdowns.

Two options.......

1.   - Lott made what coaches like to call "the football decision." He told them to cut off the end of his finger. It was a simple procedure. He held out his ... ....

2.   You don’t need to go very far to find stories of recent NFL players lining up for Toradol, the powerful painkiller they can’t play without. Toradol isn’t a secret; it’s just easier for all involved, from the owners down to the fans, to not think about it. Doing so would entail wrestling with what it means that NFL teams shoot up countless men with a painkiller so powerful it’s used in hospitals to prevent pain after surgery just so they can play.

I’d be happy to shoot up toradol every week for a multi-million dollar salary. Easy decision.

      Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.

      This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so.  I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them.  Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.

      This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL
