And I assume this means he makes the team as well despite the injury. Good. He was my "underdog to make a big impact" nominee this year after we drafted him...

GM Marty Hurney said after the game he doesn't expect that rookie WR Kealoha Pilares will have to go on injured reserve. He is out 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain, although Pilares thinks he'll be ready before that.

Good?

I like Pilares a lot, but 4-6 weeks at a position of need could hurt.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but with Olsen, I think they feel we have flexibility to get us by until they shore it up... I think Pilares will make it regardless, but this also could have a lot to do with who they anticipate will be available after Saturday.

sweet he'll just suck up a roster spot while nursing that high ankle sprain and eventually be ir'd in like week 10 like otah was last year.

I hope not- that was a total failure on the coaching staff and front office last year with Otah.

Unless they really believe the kid is going to make a significant contribution this year, I don't understand why they don't IR him if he's going to miss at least a quarter of the season.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Yeah this needs to happen ASAP. I don’t care if the price is lower. These Vikings fans on Twitter are absolutely insufferable. Acting like they have been world beaters for the last 60 years and thinking Carolina should just hand him over for nothing. We’ve had 7 or so tough seasons in a row and we have still been to two superbowls since they have and won more playoff games since 1995.    I hope Dan sends him to Detroit for a 2040 7th rounder and eats half the contract. Even Sheena is replying to them.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By frankw · Posted

      So did the Panthers initiate this by making him "available for the right price" or was this something Thielen himself pushed for? I also never saw this quote he made about JJ McCarthy back in June. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/panthers-adam-thielen-both-asked-182711572.html Thielen believes McCarthy is built for big moments and will eventually show the world the skillset that won the Michigan Wolverines a national championship in 2023/2024. He even said McCarthy could be the “face of the league.” “I have high expectations for him. I've been able to be around a little bit through some of the time last summer... back in Minnesota, and I think he has the ability to be one of the great quarterbacks this season and the face of this league at some point. You know, I think he's got every tool and intangible that you can have,” Thielen said. “Obviously, it's a difficult league and it's not gonna just be easy, but I think he has the ability to handle adversity to be able to be big in big moments, as you saw when he was in college. I think he's got a great support staff around him, whether it be the coaches or the trainers.” Sounds like he's had one foot out the door for some time now.
