I thought Hogan HAS to be activated or he cant play the rest of the season...

He had to be activated off of the Physically Unable to Perform list, or else face going on injured reserve.

This week, he'll just be inactive during the game, but still active on the team, if that makes any sense.

3 minutes ago - by Jeff Hawkins - Will rookie Brandon Hogan take over punt returns?

With rookie CB Brandon Hogan fielding punts during practice this week, it could be a sign the Armanti Edwards experiment is ending. Edwards had a strong preseason, but is now averaging only 5.5 yards per punt return. “I would like us to improve our return game,” coach Ron Rivera said. Panthers RapidReports

So Matt spends all week studying film and all he sees is the guys numbers. And it is some type of diss that he doesn't know CJ's name? I love how people here think football players keep up with the NFL outside their team. They don't have time to watch football outside of their own team during the season.

TBH he is the highest paid DE in the NFL and has been doing very well this year. Also he will get to know the name Hardy as well this Sunday.

How would Matt know he's playing real well? Does he watch the games on TV Sundays? I think he might be busy with his job. He watches game film which is not a tv broadcast. He only goes by what he sees. And I'm pretty sure he could care less how much a DE makes. That doesn't affect how he plays against them. If you asked Cam to name the starting defense for the Titans, he probably couldn't name half of them.

Yes. Many of them do. A good percentage of them play fantasy football as well, so that keeps them informed. They also keep up with free agency, especially when it comes to making a certain player the highest paid at his position or close to it.

To say he doesn't know who Charles Johnson is by name was apparently perceived as a diss by CJ, so I don't get why everyone is shooting the messenger.

I don't see where Matt took a shot. As a professional he is trained to know the numbers. And to not let the media goad him into trying to make anything personal is also class IMO. Stupid to think this was a personal diss of any sort.

I still hope CJ rips the QB's head off though.

Are you going to tell CJ that it was stupid to perceive it as a diss?

if a high school team post up rosters and depth charts for their players, im pretty sure nfl guys know the names of the guys they are playing on sunday.

Players know their opponents by numbers. Where are you getting the idea that many play fantasy football and where are you getting that Matt plays and if he did why would he know C. Johnson?

Much is being made about absolutely nothing. Charles Johnson's response was pretty much just making a little joke.

Ever heard them when they are talking on the sidelines or on the field? Certainly many know each others names but they aren't NFL dorks like us.

im pretty sure their weekly game plans consist of depth charts and rosters with names and numbers. if not, i bet they get posted up.

Johnson needs to have a big game Sunday. The entire defense does. Sadly, I expect Johnson to have a break out game this week.

Not that I take fantasy projections seriously, but he is favored to get 24 points Sunday, and I also learned that the Panthers have allowed the most fantasy points to RBs in the entire NFL. Yikes! take it for what it's worth.
