The Panthers have decided to send RG Austin Corbett back to IR. That means he will be lost for the rest of the season. Also sent to IR is Dicaprio Bootle. Bootle had subbed in the Defensive backfield while Henderson and Horn were out. Bootle had started to play at a higher rate in the past two games.
Corbett had played in four straight games after returning from his stint on IR, left over from his ACL tear and surgery at the end of last season. Corbett re-injured his left knee against the Cowboys when he was hit low on that side during the game. He came back and finished the game, never missing a snap. The new injury is NOT an ACL injury according to the Panthers. So, it appears the move to the IR was mostly a protective thing (apparently..??). The Panthers have not commented on the nature of the injury, although it's not likely to be too severe as he stayed in the game and played all of the snaps.
No word on what happened to Bootle...
So, now the question has to be asked. What is really happening behind the scenes in the Panthers locker room?? Are they "giving up"?? Or is this just another example of an indecisive HC.?? There is SO much room for improvement. I have NEVER seen so many players sent to IR. NEVER.!! Are they intending to finish out the season with second and third string replacements and/or UDFAs picked up here and there.??? HELP... I have a headache and I can't get up....
