Panthers placed WR Troy Pride on injured reserve with a torn ACL, ending his season

The 2020 fourth-rounder had 529 snaps for the Panthers in his rookie season, and was more of a problem than a solution as a rookie with 32 tackles and a ghastly 39.3 PFF grade. Pride was carted off in the fourth quarter of Sunday's preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Panthers new-look cornerback corps includes veteran signings Rashaan Melvin and AJ Bouye and Pride wasn't expected to have a huge role this season even if he'd been healthy.

Hate to hear it for the young man. Hopefully he can rehabilitate it after surgery and use the time to do the film work and study that could seriously improve his game.

Sometimes it takes a couple of years for a corner to really make the change to the pros. Maybe there's a silver lining to this for him.

Either way, I hope he heals well and can keep his spirits up.

You are a good person.  Sentiment shared.

WR?  Who is writing copy for the Panthers media department?

It took Josh Norman a couple years to turn it on.  My most memorable play from Pride last year was him falling down and running on all fours like a wildebeest trying to make a play, which isn’t a good thing since it ended in a TD.  
 

I hate it for him too, but also think focusing on the mental part of the game is what he needs most right now.  He wasn’t going to play much this year anyways if everyone stays healthy.  If he rehabs well and grows from this he could be a solid contributor in the future.

I hate it for the guy but in a fuged up way this may have been for the best. He didn't look long for the NFL and this will allow him to get world class treatment and rehab for his injury and another season of NFL checks that he honestly didn't look poised to get otherwise. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.

It's best for him and the team.  Like you said, he gets to rehab and get paid, and the Panthers get to take a flyer and see if he can come back and crack the roster next year.  I'd say it's doubtful, but you never know

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
