Shaq Thompson likely to go on PUP list after having knee cleaned up

[WarPanthers89]

Article: 

The Panthers are unlikely to have linebacker Shaq Thompson on the field for their initial training camp practices this week.

Head coach Matt Rhule said on Monday that Thompson is likely to open camp on the physically unable to perform list. Thompson had a surgical procedure to clean up his knee this offseason and Rhule said, via multiple reporters, that he could miss a couple of weeks while working his way back to full strength.

Thompson had 104 tackles, two sacks, and two interceptions while appearing in 14 games for the Panthers last season.

Rhule also said that the team expects to have defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon on the field. Nixon played seven games last year before a season-ending knee injury.

Get healthy.. we need you BIG this year.

[DJ feed me moore]

one of the few players on this roster that doesn't need TC.

good opportunity to look at the new FA pickups and draft picks at LB to see who will start next to shaq

[Smithers]

I really think Nixon is going to play an important role for us this year.  He graded out about average last season as a rookie with limited playing time.

Damn I miss Luke... sooo much!

It's a good thing we're so stacked at LB.

[Pimpdaddy]

...it seems like the weakest linebacking corp we've ever had...for sure Luke spoiled us all... but damn.

I'm not worried about a veteran player getting his knee scoped in the off-season.

Jeremy Chinn the smartest guy in the room just standing back there with the safeties waiting for one of the LB's to miss an assignment

What a waste of a contract.

You guys are never happy. Everyone on this forum is an idiot except for me.
