Brandon Hogan Concedes He's Still Not 100%

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 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

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.

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.

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

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.

      And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.

      I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

      3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
