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

garybarnidge @MackB73 thanks man I will be good. Good luck in game tom.

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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
