The Panthers suffered a blow to their defense and special teams over the weekend. 

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters at a Monday press conference that safety Sam Franklin broke his foot during Saturday’s practice. Franklin is expected to be able to return at some point during the season, but the team will be without him for an extended period of time.

“You can’t replace Sam Franklin. But this is a good opportunity for guys to step up,” Canales said, via Kassidy Hill of the team’s website.

Franklin has been with the Panthers for the last four years and has been a core special teamer while also making nine starts on defense. He had 30 tackles and a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown last season.

it's our deepest position, he doesn't get in much as a safety, but certainly a key member of special teams.  Get well soon Sam

Starting to wonder if that's the case myself after hearing Canales talk up the safety group. Sam's injury though is going to give somebody a chance to possibly sneak onto the roster if they can show out on special teams.

One of the only true dawgs on the team and like NcBlu said "he was the only Baylor/temple rhule guy that ended up being good". Roy was ok for a couple seasons and now he's bouncing around. Terrible terrible

 

I still feel Franklin would make one hell of a WLB in a 4-3 system.

Reddick is great. PJ a decent backup. Robbie Anderson worked out for a yr. Shouldve worked out for more with better QB play

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
