He's down within the first 4 games next season.  Bank on it.

I sure hope not. Good grief it seems like the Panthers have more than paid their fair share to the injury goblin over the years. So many of our elite talents have been detailed in their prime by major injuries. From Cam to Beason to Morgan to Luke. You can fairly include guys like KB who looked to be emerging as an elite WR and guys like Oher who was actually looking like the blindsided protector he was hailed to be. Despite his resurgence much of TD's prime was stolen from us with him fighting back from ACL after ACL. I get that football is a brutal sport, but damn... can't we just have some nice things every now and then without injuries fuging it up?

I am having trouble understanding why this is a thing now.   Pretty much anyone you ask and they would say the meniscus is the part of the knee you would want to injure over the acl or pcl.   I guess his size is slowing the rehab.  fug I dont know but at this point its not good.

Depends heavily on the extent of the damage. Many meniscus tears are simply a cleanup and couple of week recovery process, so the fact that he was out for the entire year and still recovering seemingly points to it being a very serious injury. Perhaps he actually tore it loose from the bone and didn't just damage the tissue itself.

I've no idea if this is what he had done but knee cartilage damage is exactly the scenario where they do microfracture surgery. If that's what he had, again noting that I'm simply talking in hypothetical with no indication that he actually had it, then that could definitely prolong a recovery as well.

Even if it was that serious it still is a head scratcher he is still dealing with it 9 months later.  I am still believing just his enormous size is probably slowing things down.  Tearing up your knee and being 325 pounds has to take time to get right.   I guess we will see what happens in TC but this is starting to feel like there is more to the story or whatever.

 

I had mine shaved a while back and it was basically 100% in roughly a month or so.  I did a ton of stretching and knee exercises and it was fine.

Getting it shaved/removing part of it (meniscectomy) is a different procedure. You got the Dollar Tree option while Brown got  the quality option.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10518210/

"This study has demonstrated a significant clinical benefit in patients with isolated meniscal tears undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. The outcomes of meniscal repair were superior to that of meniscectomy at medium-term follow-up. Meniscal repair is a more biologically preserving procedure of the knee joint and should be performed preferentially over meniscectomy in isolated meniscal tears when feasible"

without a doubt his was much more serious, I am just saying of all the knee injuries it appears that the meniscus tear appears to the the shorter recovery time compared to acl/pcl/mcl.  Seems like people bounce back quicker whether its a clean up or full tear.

    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first. 
    • Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
