It's just a pulled hamstring lol, season ending was never on the table

Worst case was 6-8 weeks. Sounds like it's just a minor strain and they are looking at 2-3 weeks out

That was just a question for all the doom and gloom people on here that were thinking that the Panthers were done for the season.

I'm not gonna get hopes up yet because I can easily picture them being asked "Are you thinking of putting him on IR?" and them saying "No," but meaning they aren't considering that until they get all the facts.

IR "is not the plan as of now."

 

I think I'll still hope for about a 3-4 week rest for him and a full recovery in that time.

Obviously I'd prefer he not be hurt.  However, having him miss three weeks is an excellent opportunity for us to find out if Chuba can be a bona fide NFL RB.  If Chuba can look like an NFL back, it will make it even easier for us to lighten the load on CMC when he returns.

The pro of these stupid TNF games is we have 10 days till Dallas, almost like a mini bye. Means he likely misses only 2 games against Dallas and Philly with plans to have him back for Minnesota. 

The team not placing him on IR seems to indicate they also think he'll be 100% by that 3rd game. We saw last year they aren't afraid to shut him down till he's 100%.

It wouldn’t matter, even if they IR him they can activate him in 3 weeks due to new rules

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud.

      The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By countryboi · Posted

      I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
