Brandon Hogan Concedes He's Still Not 100%

[Real Emotional Trash]

Didn't see this anywhere, sorry if it's late. Per Rotoworld.com:

Panthers CB Brandon Hogan concedes he's still not 100 percent recovered from December, 2010 ACL surgery.

"I think I'm right about there. I still have some swelling, some pain sometimes," Hogan said. "But I just try to push through it and see how it feels afterward." Most players have an 8-10 timetable for ACL surgery. It's disconcerting that Hogan is still battling a year and a half later. If healthy by training camp, he's expected to be in the mix for the No. 2 cornerback job.

Thoughts? I really want to see Hogan come out and destroy everyone for the #2 CB spot, but if he's still feeling pain from that then we might be talking about this same issue next offseason.

Could need a clean up if it is still hurting. Not a good sign IMO.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I'm surprised he hasnt recovered yet

[jtnc]

This is bad, it's been two entire years since his surgery.

Could be due to scar tissue flare ups. It's likely he could never feel the way he did before. If it feels strong and sturdy he should push through it like he said. The pain and inflamation could be a problem forever, could possibly be resolved with clean out scope. It could be something that he has to deal with and fight through to play. For his sake I hope not, he's a good guy

Hurney is always relying on an unproven player.......then the poo hits the fan.

I think based on the fact that he says he's right about there, it doesn't sound too concerning. And at least we know he's giving it his all- practicing/working out through the pain

Clean up most of the time does the trick. Or it did in my case at least when I had the same problem. Happens to minority a lot.

In better news, Rivera has said that Gettis is right on schedule with his ACL issues. From watching that video on Gettis catching from Panthers.com, it's great to see him working out.

Who cares? Marty Hurney needs to stop counting on guys with major injuries. You drafted a guy who had to have ACL surgery as if you couldn't have drafted someone who didn't, Mr. Fixer-Upper.

Beason, Hogan, Davis...I fully expect the same injury-plagued year on defense.

Not gonna panic like most of you.

But this is taking a little while..

it's not like we spent a top-round pick on him. later rounds are when you tend to take flyers... guys that were highly projected but fell for various reasons.

and we're not relying on him, we're asking him to step up. even if he doesnt, and butler doesn't, and we end up with munnerlyn at CB2 again, the return of our linebacking corps and the growth of the defensive line will be a huge step up.
