Sosp. What does this mean?

Got a text from big Gary, said his ankle was ok.

Apparently not ok enough:

@carolinagrowl Breaking news: A source tells me that TE Gary Barnidge will be out "at least 12 weeks." That severely limits his chances of make the roster.

Must have been hopeful thinking. Can't blame him.

Barnidge has a fractured ankle but no ligament danage

Too bad for the guy. But, this way, if the Panthers want to keep him, they can just put him on IR.

Does PUP'ing him leave a roster spot open?

Do that, if it does.

[KillerKat]

well sh*t.

[mav1234]

sorry gary, was looking forward to seeing you play, but... maybe it's time for IR?
