Could it be more serious than we thought?

Panthers' DeAngelo Williams sits out

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has missed practice with a foot injury.

Williams sat out Wednesday after hobbling off the field in the final minute of Sunday's win over San Francisco. Coach John Fox provided no update on his condition.

After rushing for more than 1,100 yards last season, Williams has been held to 367 yards on 87 carries in six games this season.

The Panthers were still without right tackle Jeff Otah, who hasn't played or practiced this season because of a sore knee.

Defensive end Tyler Brayton missed practice Wednesday for a personal matter, but Fox says he'll return Thursday.

The Panthers also placed reserve linebacker Jamar Williams on season-ending injured reserve with a neck injury, replacing him on the 53-man roster by signing linebacker Abdul Hodge.

we will be fine. If we gotta run Stewart/Goodson that is plenty of punch. Stewart could probably use some heavy reps to finally get the ball rolling.

Stewart needs the O line to be top shape for him to be effective though. DWill at least managed a little something on the outside. Not sure if any amount of practice will improve that O-line much more without Otah.

Maybe we can just use Stewart as a receiver again though and hope no one sees him.:D

well if it is just Stewart maybe they pull some guys out of the box....that is why the OL looks like crap. Fox has said it is pointless to watch film on opponents b/c all are using the same blueprint. If the Rams do what everyone else has done.....the game again will come down to the pass and the Rams asking us to hit WRs in single coverage.

You know, now that I think about it, I'm actually kind of ok with that. Could work out for the better. I want to see another 41 passing attempts and if DWill isn't 100% it bodes well for that.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
