Any status updates on Jeff Otah's knee problems? I believe he is key player for the panthers, but I have not heard anything about him recently. Did he participate in the player organized activies? Any recent interivews with the media?

Fat player's fat knee is fat.

You guys need to lay off of Otah... Seriously! According to his twitter page his knee is "Strong" and he's ready to play football... The pessimism around here is killing me!

Any news about his shoulder? I think I remember reading he was rehabbing it. I hope he's healthy by the time training camp gets underway.

This was the end of March

Panthers RT Jeff Otah is recovering from left shoulder surgery in addition to the knee problems that cost him all of 2010.

The shoulder procedure was done by Dr. James Andrews, and is expected to require 3-4 months for Otah to reacquire range of motion and strength. Beat writer Darin Gantt indicated that the shoulder injury is now more of a concern than Otah's knee. We're interpreting that to mean the knee woes are a thing of the past and the shoulder would keep him out of OTAs if there were any. Mar 31, 9:51 AM

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
