Gary Barnidge injured

Hmmmm.

A bit late to put him on the PUP list. I'd hate to see him go on IR for a "freak accident".

I really hope this doesn't mean the end of his time with the Panthers. I believe, despite his small frame and what he was asked to do, this will be the first time he has missed any field time since being drafted. You just know Shockey isn't going to make it through the entire season unscathed. We will need a second pass catching TE if we keep lining up like we did last week. I hate to think he will miss his chance to impress his new coaches.

Anybody got an update?

The Panthers were in shorts on Thursday, but TE Gary Barnidge still managed to injure his ankle. The injury was bad enough to where the trainers felt the need to put an air cast on the leg and cart him off the field. Barnidge looked to be in considerable pain as he left the practice field.

Rivera said Barnidge was taken to get an x-ray.

“His cleat got stuck in the ground, and he went over the top of it,” Rivera said. “Hopefully, at worst it's a bad, bad (ankle) sprain. But as a precaution they booted him up, took him in and they're going to take him over to get some x-rays.”

i wouldn't worry, but the way the players were talking to him on twitter it sound's like they were really concerned. might be more because it happened right before practice was to end and they were heading on to miami.

barnidge sounded upbeat, but kind of like he was trying to.

garybarnidge @MikeSolarte not sure if I can say just know I will be good and a quick healer

AllOfASutton22 My man @garybarnidge ...sry homie. Heal fast!! We got u

probably reading a good bit into it, but still something to be concerned about. fortunately he's not a "core" player so if he had to miss some time it wouldn't hurt a lot. i just want to see the guy play.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
