Smith activated from PUP

Slowly but surely, the Panthers are beginning to look whole again.

WR Steve Smith was activated from the physically unable to perform list, and ran a few routes during individual drills this morning.

That's not to say he's going to take any contact soon, as they want to make sure that broken left arm is ready for the regular season opener. Panthers coach John Fox said he wasn't even compelled to play Smith in the preseason, since the goal is to have him in New York on Sept. 12.

RB Mike Goodson was also back on the field this morning, his first action in nearly two weeks after an ankle sprain.

RB Deangelo Williams will be returning to camp tomorrow after missing a few days for excused personal reasons.

Rookie G Ray Histake (neck) was added to the injury list, but the Panthers had 72 players on the field Monday morning, a strong showing for this point in camp.

-- RB Jonathan Stewart took part in individual drills for the fourth straight practice, which may be the first time since he's been a Panther when that was true.

-- WR Charly Martin came out to practice without his large, club-like cast on his left hand, but halfway through the morning work, it was back. He's not quite ready to catch passes, and it has to be killing him to not be out there competing for a job.

-- C Andrew Crummey got through the day cleanly, with no apparent bad snaps. Good for him. He needed a break after yesterday's torture chamber.

-- The Panthers will go through a lighter practice this afternoon, before getting a break for family day. It's a little late in camp (since they break Wednesday), but guys are always relieved to see their wives and kids down here.

The practice will be held in Gibbs Stadium again, as recent rains have left their other fields too soggy.

I'm still going to post about it in this thread though, because I know it will absolutely drive dpantherman crazy if this thread gets 120 posts and his gets knocked off the front page. He will be enraged like nothing we've seen before. I'm thinking Virginia Tech meets Columbine High School.

Smith took part in only non-contact drills without defensive backs at the beginning of Monday's workout, during which he wore a baseball cap. But Smith looked sharp running routes and made a leaping grab of Matt Moore's high pass.

Smith later caught light passes off to the side from backup QB Jimmy Clausen in his most extensive work since he broke his forearm playing flag football in June.

Hmmmm...working on that rapport already?

      Rumors

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Revisiting the Prediction thread from April 3--a full 3 weeks before the draft.  I thought this was interesting because I was just repeating rumors and infusing them with my comments.  We trust names like McShay--look how wrong he was! Green indicates the rumor came true in some form.  Red indicates that the rumor was wrong-- Rumor:  McShay just reported in his podcast that the "winds have shifted" about Shedeur Sanders.  He referenced back in October when Dad basically said, "If we tell you not to draft him, don't draft him" to Shedeur wearing a Browns hat. (Nobody thought this would happen in round 5 or with the Browns).  Recently, Deion has come out to announce that he is OK with wherever his son goes--while the intentions were good, he is still one-too-many voices in the process.  I think it was at the combine when Shedeur responded to a question, "Do you know who my dad is?"  while laughing.  He was asked about the Raiders during an interview, and Shedeur said, "I ain't going sixth..." (if he meant 'round' he was right--but he meant overall)  He was referencing living with criticism, etc. but continually referencing Dad may not be helping--but this shift in his and his father's approach to the draft suggests that they are not quite as confident, now that teams have signed free agents.  McShay suggests that Cam will go #1 to the Titans, but the Browns may not think Sanders (who some have a second round grade on--he has him at #19 overall) is worth the #2 pick, and that might lead to them taking the best player in the draft (Carter, but do not rule out Hunter).  Side Rumor:  There are rumblings that the Browns could land Cousins from the Falcons, giving them a starting QB and the #2 overall pick. The Giants just signed Russell Wilson and J. Winston. Daboll and Shoen may not be ready to put their jobs on the back of a developmental QB--so they take the best player on their board, Hunter (if the Browns take Carter).  New England probably drafts an OT, but they would like to trade back. Some mocks have them taking Jeanty--but I do not see Vrabel going RB with so many needs.   Side Rumor:  The Jets may want to move up for Hunter (if he is there) and the Pats may want to move back and take a T.  So if Hunter is on the board at #4, look for a NY-Boston trade. The Jags do not need a QB, but most mocks have them staying put and taking Mason Graham, DT Michigan.  Side Rumor:  The smart money has the Jags taking Mason Graham, but some think they are in love with TMac.  Others have TMac going to the Seahawks later. The Raiders are supposedly in love with RB Jeanty to go in Pete Carrol's offense. I see that as a likelihood. The Jets seem to like Fields and bringing in Sanders makes little sense, but it could not be ruled out.  The drama, however, after the Rodgers experiment, is not ideal.  Most NY area experts have the Jets taking Membou OT or Warren TE--always take the top OT over the top TE.  The Panthers are likely to have Walker on their board and should be fielding offers.  According to McShay, a team still needing a QB would be calling the Panthers to get ahead of the Saints.  McShay mentions that the Giants could be in play to move back up to grab Sanders, but I see Indianapolis as a more likely candidate, with Richardson and Daniel Jones as their QBs at the moment.  For the Colts to move up to 14 it would not require a huge investment in draft capital.  The Colts could send Carolina their first (14) and second (45) to Carolina for their first (8) and a fourth (111) and fifth (140). Side Rumor:  According to McShay, the folks at FanDuel give the over and under odds for Sanders being drafted at 7.5 to 8.5.  The Panthers pick 8th.  What does this mean?   First, Jon Snow will have to change his user name and I think Special Juan is required to report his status to us to be on this board.  Secondly, it means the Panthers could sit at #8 and take Walker or move back, where players like Warren, TMac, Mykel Williams, or a top S (Starks/Emmanwori), Golden, etc. would be in play.   In addition, getting pick #45 would land a player like Princely (Edge). (However, Princely was drafted in round 3--Scourton was the selection at pick 51--Princely went pick 77 in the third)

      Never been that big a fan of Cole Spencer honestly but he's steadily risen up the ranks ever since he got here.
