Panthers Injury Update - Burns in concussion protocol


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

CHARLOTTE — Of the four players who exited Sunday's win in Atlanta and did not return, only cornerback Donte Jackson (toe) participated in Wednesday's practice.

Jackson was on the field in a limited capacity after playing just one snap against the Falcons. Defensive end Brian Burns (concussion) was at practice during the portion open to media but was in a red jersey. He did not participate.

Head coach Matt Rhule announced after practice that defensive tackle Kawann Short will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder after injuring it in the third quarter on Sunday. Short will be placed on the reserve/injured list.

Rhule did not have an update on defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle), who was not on the field.

Slated to start for Short, defensive tackle Zach Kerr was limited on Wednesday with a toe injury, as was wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee).

Cornerback Eli Apple (hamstring) was also a limited participant. After returning from the reserve/injured list in Week 4, Apple played only six special teams snaps before injuring the opposite hamstring that sidelined him during training camp. He was a limited participant last Wednesday but sat out Thursday's and Friday's sessions.

While Christian McCaffrey (high ankle sprain) is eligible to return from IR this week, Rhule said the running back would not be activated just yet. McCaffrey's original timetable to return was 4-6 weeks, and he's missed only three games to this point.

"He's working to get back, and as soon as we can get him back, we'll get him back," Rhule said.

We won't know until Saturday. He has indicated to people he thinks he will but really only the doctors and test results dictate it. 

Thanks. I feel like he is our most important player on defensive line right now to generate pressure on the QB

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
