I read 'swelling in the knee' yesterday as the reason his fat ass was not playing.

This after reading 'how good he felt' and 'how glad he was to be back'.

I believe he's in a contract year so I'd expect him to be out there; will tell you this, if he is not out there the next to last exhbition game or the opening game, he'll be toast again this year.

If there is one player that they needed to backup it is him.

Don't care how good someone is, if they are not on the field, it does not matter.

Said it last year, will say it again, a 24 year old with meniscus issues is dead meat in the NFL at his position.

Can add OT to the needs of CB, DT and 2nd WR.

I always wonder how people come up with these deadlines; "if he's not out there by the next to the last exhibition game or the game before my mothers birthday" etc.

I'm pretty sure he's a hell of a player when healthy and the staff are doing all they can to keep him healthy for the games that matter.

Don't panic till you really have a reason but I understand your concern.

Do you live under a rock with no internet? They were talking about swelling in his knee well over a week ago.

Try and keep up.

It's possible that they are just being extra extra cautious with him, hell I would be. I mean look at everyone that hasn't played. Smitty has a cut finger so they dont play him, Beason is probably doesn't feel like playing, so he's not out there. Stewart only comes out for regular season games. Gamble has a cold, so he's not playing.

If it drags on into the regular season a few games then I'll get concerned.

He has barely played any preaseason since we drafted him.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.

      Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
