Otah suffered a "mini-setback"

Panthers RT Jeff Otah declared a "mini-setback," in his recovery from knee surgery, admitting he didn't expect to play for a few weeks.

After being held out of practice again, Otah said he thought he'd be back on the practice field in "two or three weeks."

While it's not worst-case scenario for the Panthers, it's hardly what they were hoping for when he went in for an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee on Aug. 4. Then, they were hoping he'd be back by the opener, but now it could push into October.

Otah suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee last December, and said the current problem was an outgrowth of that situation.

He was rehabbing in hopes of playing this weekend when he said his "mini-setback" happened while running.

"I might have pushed myself a little too hard," Otah said.

In his place, the Panthers will start RT Geoff Schwartz, who has taken every snap there with the starters since training camp opened.

OMG WTF IS OUR TRAINING STAFF DOING. SAME THING HAPPENED TO TD

That could be problem. I was happy to hear about TD running 40s but it seemed kind of soon.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
