This week, several players spoke out about the turf at Bank of America Stadium. However, according to the NFLPA, the Panthers’ home base isn’t one of the stadiums that uses a pure slit film surface, which the union is taking a stand against. The New York Jets and New York Giants (MetLife Stadium), Detroit Lions (Ford Field), Minnesota Vikings (U.S. Bank Stadium), New Orleans Saints (Caesars Superdome), Indianapolis Colts (Lucas Oil Stadium) and Cincinnati Bengals (Paycor Stadium) are the teams coming under fire for the slit-film surfaces.

The Panthers have played on the road against the Giants and Bengals this season. Cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver sustained an Achilles injury at MetLife Stadium, which eventually landed him on injured reserve. Against the Bengals, the Panthers avoided major injuries. Still, the Panthers will face the Saints on the road in Week 18, so the Superdome is a concern heading into the finale. As far as the home field is concerned, the Panthers’ management doesn’t seem too concerned. According to a Carolina spokesperson, the team performs an internal study — which is updated weekly — that monitors missed games due to injuries around the league, and the Panthers are in the top quartile of fewest games missed due to injuries.

Article also says that the turf was not responsible for the high ankle sprains of Darnold, Mayfield, and Walker.

Yeah I don't really trust Tepper's internal findings

Yeah I don't trust Tepper's internal study on the money grass. This stats misleading because teams play on different surfaces.  Show me the number of leg and foot injuries on turf vs grass.

      Injury report

      By Icege · Posted

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
