It’s complete fuging speculation can we just wait until we get an actual diagnosis from somebody who has seen and put hands on it?

Yes its complete speculation and he could be wrong.  Dr. Chao has a "schtick" and its reporting snap judgements on injuries based on limited information.  His gimmick is filling in the gap of time between the injury and the actual reporting of the details of the injury.  The guys with their "hands on" Horn are not going to give us information for a while...even though they might already know.

Dr. Chao spent nearly 2 decades as and NFL team doctor and he's actually pretty accurate.  Being a doctor means understanding the body and injuries.  But he has spent alot of time reviewing how certain injuries happen and the players reaction to certain injuries.

I remember years ago a star player underwent surgery leading up to the season.  Dr. Chao was on NFL Radio throwing out his random input.  He said the type of surgery the guy had takes every bit of 10-12 weeks for the incisions and tissue to heal.  The problem is the guy is going to feel "normal" after only 6-7 weeks so his instinct is going to be to go back at it...and its going to be hard for the team doctors to convince him he needs to wait another 4+ weeks even though he feels fine.  So Dr. Chao predicted he'd go back at it early, and tear some stuff open and be out for the season.  That was exactly what happened.

Depending on the break, that’s not even season ending. 

I think even the most severe break could have him back by playoffs. Need Bouye to step right in in the meantime. And I think he can. Thank God it’s not an Achilles not just for this season but for his career.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
