UPDATING BREAKING NEWS: Otah on IR, Panthers sign OL Pettiti

OK, here's more on the news that the Panthers have put Jeff Otah on injured reserve.

He suffered a knee injury early in last Sunday's 20-10 loss at New England and played for much of the game before leaving with a sore shoulder late.

However, the knee injury turned out to be significant, but is not a ligament tear, according to general manager Marty Hurney.

Otah is expected to have surgery and to be ready for the Panthers' offseason minicamp, OTA, etc.

Well at least Gross and Otah going down will give our inexperienced depth on the OLine some experience for next season. Who knows we may be more competitive down the stretch and that experience will be invaluable.

At least it appears nothing serious and nothing that is likely to cause a weakness for future injuries.

yeah....that franchise tag on pep....awesome idea.

OL depth was going to be bad anyway cause hangman and omiyale were most likely going to be taking starting jobs somewhere but still that left us with really crappy choices at OL depth.

another major fail for the panthers FO.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
