Source: LB Williams headed to IR

The Panthers are going to make a roster move soon, as they're expected to place LB Jamar Williams on injured reserve, according to a source with knowledge of the decision.

Williams suffered a spinal concussion against Cincinnati in Week 3. He missed the next week's game at New Orleans, but practiced on Oct. 6. He was off the field the following day, saying multiple opinions on his condition caused the team to reconsider and be more cautious.

Williams said last week he felt fine and hoped to play soon, but apparently they're not going to wait for him. At the same time, he admitted his MRIs showed inflammation in his neck, which concerned the team.

"They saw a little mark, come to find out it was just inflammation, but that kind of threw smoke in the air," Williams said last week. "A couple doctors said it was fine, a couple were worried about it. That indecision between doctors led our staff to say 'Let's give him another week and see how it goes.' ...

"It's hard, but I'm really try to take slow. Any time you're dealing with a neck, it's such a fragile thing."

Williams was acquired by the Panthers in the trade that sent SS Chris Harris to Chicago.

There was no word from the team on a corresponding roster move Wednesday morning before practice.

Why hadn't we heard any of this before? I never recall hearing any direct quotes from Williams or the team on the injury since the week it happened.

Welp, that was short lived. To me, sounds like this may be a career thing or we just won't bring him back anyway b/c he's not very good.

Wonder who we're adding. Did we have to de-activate or move someone to bring someone up off the PUP?

      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..
