Yeah I've been very hard on Darnold but I hate to see that for anyone. He can recover and lick his wounds with that 18 million dollars though no worries Sam.

He is a horrible QB I don't wish that injury on anyone but I'll say as an everyday fan it's a little hard to feel too bad for him when he's collecting more this season on IR or cut than 99% of this board will have at 65 retiring.

Yeah, and Cam's most recent statements suggest he is still looking for a starting gig, and I don't blame him.  But if he were to come back, even just that added dimension at the goal line would be another incredible weapon to have...

But I agree, it feels like the relationship is done from both sides.

Cams not a starter anymore and he has too much pride to he a true backup.

Broken or torn.

Could be the dreaded high ankle sprain. Those are usually longer recovery than an actual broken ankle.

Yeah, that's was my thought...  a fracture or high ankle sprain, but it usually seems like it takes a bit longer for them to evaluate/diagnose and then rule out guys with high ankle sprains.  This seemed quicker.

Nah. High ankle is usually out immediately. Pretty painful from what I have heard.

All while being horrible at his job.  Imagine!

Well, I know it's relatively quick to figure out from their inability to put weight on it and such, but idk...  just seems like it usually takes them longer to definitively diagnose that.  

But, either way, I'm thinking that's minimum 4 weeks, more likely 6.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
