big ben roth Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Has anyone heard any new news on him. I know he was doing light agility drills and catching passes from the ball machine while standing in one place, but im wondering if anyone else has heard anything new on him.

PantherDave Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 The word was about three weeks down time, so he's got two to go, most likely/possibly could see action in the Aug 24 PS game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big ben roth Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thanks for the pointless input peep. But has anyone else heard any news on his hammy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thanks for the pointless input peep. But has anyone else heard any news on his hammy? It's a strain, they decided to shelf him for 3 weeks, they apparently did no MRI, and he gets treatment daily, and if all goes well-may, and I said "may" see some PT in the Aug 24 game vs Jax. He was on the sidelines at Fan Fest all grins and cutting it up with the fans in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thanks for the pointless input peep. But has anyone else heard any news on his hammy? No prob. I only made that comment because PD provided plenty of info. If you have a Panther question, hes your man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wait for a month if I was the brain-trust down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfv87 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hey P Dave With SS missing time in Mini camp with that same hammy and now again missing, anybody down there getting nervous about that wheel? SS is a huge game breaker but sometimes a hammy injury can last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS is a huge game breaker but sometimes a hammy injury can last forever. I'm no Doc, but speaking from personel exp., a hammy is a weird thing. I had one tighten up, I hydrated, stretched, deep tissue massage-you name it. Well, it felt better, and lo and behold when I took off after about 2 1/2 weeks rehab-Bam, down I went. The Doc who treated me( same one who rebuilt my ACL in my left knee) said it's somewhat common for a twinged hammy to run it's course, the course many times is to go ahead and strain it etc(not intentionally) and hope to not be torn. He said that hammy's and groins are just different from other muscles for some reason-why? Hell if I know, but mine has not bothered me since then and I just think it's the same with Smitty, as he has had this occur before in TC. The fact that he was on the sideline at Fan Fest in civey's smiling and cutting it up with the fans, is to me, promising. If it was much worse than we are being told, then he would be living in the rehab facility at TC etc. When you recontruct a knee, you fug it up worse than the initial injury to get it back right or close to it, so I think he'll rehab, get it healed and be just as lethal.
