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?

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.

      He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.

      I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
