Week 1 final injury report: Dennis Daley ruled out

CHARLOTTE — Starting left guard Dennis Daley has been ruled out of Sunday's season opener with the Raiders after missing four straight practices with an ankle injury. 

Veteran offensive lineman Michael Schofieldwill start in Daley's place. Schofield has started 66 career games, including 32 over the last two seasons for the Chargers. That gives him some familiarity with the Raiders' defense.

"He's had a good camp, so we're very excited to have him go out there and play," Rhule said.

Cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III(hamstring) and defensive end Stephen Weatherly (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's contest. Weatherly was a limited participant in Friday's practice, but Rhule expects Weatherly to play though he realizes the defensive end's hamstring could tighten.

"There's always a level of concern," Rhule said. "He'll give us as many snaps as he can."

Linebacker Adarius Taylor also did not practice on Friday, but his absence was not injury-related.

Average at best is still pretty good for a 6th round pick. Average doesn't hurt you unless you're overpaying for average.

I'm not talking solely about quality.

The thing about lower round picks and undrafted guys is that often they look half-decent, but have only a limited shelf life.

Said it before: Predicting how good a guy is going to be is actually easier than predicting how long he's going to stay that good.

You guys are selling Daley short, hes going to turn out GREAT for a 6th. He'll be looking like the 2nd rounder and be in talks with Hardy about being the best 6th rounders in Panthers history. Playing LT as a rookie that went to camp training as a OG, thats a feat with every few f-ups.

Hey, I'd have no problem with that

    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it. 
    • Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
