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.

Yeah, it is.  I don't know where the Reddit guy got his information, I was just relaying it to try to help with the confusion.

 

Here is what AI had to say on the subject.

"The Carolina Panthers' tight end Tommy Tremble will begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after undergoing successful back surgery last week. He is expected to be rehabbing at the start of training camp and is not expected to be a season-ending injury. There is no specific timeline for his return to game action."

 

And here is an article I found.  Just trying to help.

My understanding is that Canales was asked about Tommy Tremble.

Canales stated he had had back surgery, it was successful, and that they expected Tremble back for Training Camp.

The Panthers PR person later clarified that Tremble will start TC on the PUP list.

However, PUP during preseason isn't like PUP during the regular season where you definitely will miss time.

Tremble can come off the PUP at any point, and to me Canales' statement made it seem like they were expecting him fully back near the start of TC.

So, reading the team leaves, it seems like Tremble will be at TC but not practicing at least initially. Canales seemed to indicate he expected Tremble to be a part of TC, so that would indicate they anticipate him being activated around the start of TC.

In terms of concern, who can honestly say?

Its certainly not ideal that the surgery took place now. However, it does seems like this is an issue the team was fully aware of, and the plan was to rehab without surgery.

The concern is obviously Tremble wasn't fully recovering without surgery, now the surgery will at least impact TC, and surgeries are never guaranteed. And back injuries can linger and rarely completely resolve.

Still, there are a whole gamut of procedures that constitute back surgery, and while surgery is only "minor" when it's not your own, this doesn't seem to be a major procedure.

Tremble is in the building this week, so it's obvious hes not incapacitated or anything.

Will just have to wait and monitor. 

Im excited to see how JT Sanders and Mitchell Evans look in 2 TE sets since they fit more differentiated roles (Sanders is primarily a receiving threat, and Mitchell is more of a traditional TE).

I hope Tremble is fully healthy for Week 1. This isn't the flashiest TE group in the league, but I think given the emergence of Sanders, as long as Tremble and Evans can be good role players we should be fine.

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

Soft tissue injury? Where? That's such a vague statement.

We're all learning that while Canales likes to present himself as an open book, he can lie and say nothing via coachspeak with the best of the lol...

Also, I'm really excited about JT Sanders and think he can develop into a big-time receiving weapon.

I'm not a draft guy, but I did go back to look more into JT Sanders bc he really flashed as a rookie.

Here is a link to his rookie highlights:

It could turn into one of the better draft picks the Panthers have made in the 4th Round.

I didn't realize it, but a lot of draft guys had him as their #2 TE last year behind Brock Bowers.

I do like what this TE group brings:

1) Tommy Tremble (versatile, more of an H-Back TE)

2) JT Sanders (primary receiving)

3) Mitchell Evans (end of line TE)
