Pls no. Zavala’s IR window activated

Panthers activate Chandler Zavala’s IR window

The Panthers made a fourth roster move Tuesday ahead of their first practice of the postseason.

The team activated guard Chandler Zavala’s 21-day practice window on injured reserve. Zavala, who has been sidelined with a calf injury, can be activated to the 53-man roster at any point over the next three weeks.

Along with Hunt, Zavala can create extra experienced depth on the line. He could also be an option to start at right guard over Austin Corbett if Hunt is unavailable.

Zavala, who played college ball at NC State, has appeared in seven games (five starts) this season. The 2023 fourth-round pick has appeared in 34 games (14 starts) in his three years with the squad.

He's a fuging backup.

Ya'll are really on one with the backup drama this week. 

You say that, but don't forget Canales thought it was a good idea to start Zavala at RG over BC until Zavala got hurt the first time... Curhan has looked miles better than Zavala in the few games he played.

Dude should only see the field if we only have 5 linemen left. And even then, I would probably playJames Mitchell or Mitchell Evans at RG before him...

Yeah, we have already established that Canales really is quite bad at personnel management. He is genuinely not very good at it.

I would imagine out. 

I am not sure why they haven't just closed that door completely. It's illogical given the injury suffered to even consider bringing him back.

I was expecting that, I was just hoping there was a chance, dude is a beast

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
