Tommy Tremble will not be ready for training camp

Back surgery is never good.  Hope it works out for him.

Damn wonder what made it take so long to get the surgery done

Trade next year's first for Travis and Taylor. Worth it

most likely trying to see if the injury would get better with rest and rehab for a few months 

but looks like they weren't making any progress, thus, needing surgery

however, not sure why waited until the end of May to decide he needed surgery

This. Generally speaking, if you can avoid back surgery try to avoid it. I know several people who have had to have back surgeries with the results ranging from disastrous to good, but no one has raved about it. None are back to their old selves.

I am gonna say that this makes the TE drafted make a LOT more sense now.

An upgrade over Tremble makes a lot of sense, injured or not.  I had no idea he was injured and wanted to draft a TE.

I always wonder how these guys get hurt in the offseason, your back didn't hurt in January?

Pretty sure Reddit had a thread saying the opposite as well.  I was skimming this thread trying to figure out what was going on.

Seems to be conflicting reports on this.  Reddit guys says it has been updated and he is NOT going to be ready.  Joe Person tweeted he is.  Supposedly he is on PUP now.

I have to be honest. The timing lack of clarity and confusion around all this only a few months after signing him to an extension some argued was an overpay is not giving off the vibes of a very competent organization. Hopefully they clear things up.

TE Tommy Tremble had successful back surgery last week, per Dave Canales. They fully expect him back for training camp. OLB DJ Wonnum had his back flare up so they kept him off the field. WR Jalen Coker is dealing with a soft tissue injury. #Panthers

I did really think he was an upgrade from Tremble, on paper, hence why I didn't like the pick. But, it does make more sense knowing we need another blocking TE with him potentially out for a bit.

I watched Canales press conference and he clearly stated they expect Tremble to be ready for training camp.

This thread is suggesting Canales misspoke? Odd.
