Carolina Panthers news, rumors and injuriesPanthers | Michael Oher to sit Week 4 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 11:03:12 -0700 Carolina Panthers OT Michael Oher (head) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons due to a concussion. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Jonathan Stewart to miss Week 4 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 12:29:59 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) will not be able to play in Week 4, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Rivera indicated he is not sure about a possible timetable for Stewart. Fantasy Tip: Cameron Artis-Payne and Fozzy Whittaker will both receive playing time at running back while Stewart is sidelined. Neither player posted great stats last week, but they were facing one of the better defenses in the NFL. Whittaker is probably a better option for owners in point-per-reception leagues, while Artis-Payne could be a flex option in some standard leagues. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Carolina's Thursday injury report Thu, 29 Sep 2016 12:11:37 -0700 Carolina Panthers DT Vernon Butler (ankle) and LB A.J. Klein (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 29. DE Charles X. Johnson (quadriceps) was limited during practice, while LB Jeremy Cash (hamstring) and LB David Mayo (knee) fully participated in practice. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Jonathan Stewart sits again Thu, 29 Sep 2016 12:01:39 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 29. Fantasy Tip: Stewart likely will miss at least one more week because of the injury, so owners can avoid him. Cameron Artis-Payne and Fozzy Whittaker will continue to share work at running back with Stewart out. Whittaker may have more value since he is more involved in the passing game, but both could be flex options in deeper leagues. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Wednesday injury report for Carolina Wed, 28 Sep 2016 12:26:31 -0700 Carolina Panthers DT Vernon Butler (ankle) and LB A.J. Klein (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 28. LB Jeremy Cash (hamstring) and LB David Mayo (knee) fully participated in practice. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Vernon Butler injury update Wed, 28 Sep 2016 11:45:34 -0700 Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers DT Vernon Butler (ankle) said he expects to miss two to three weeks because of his high ankle sprain.

Comment () | Share: Panthers | Jonathan Stewart out of practice Wed, 28 Sep 2016 09:36:16 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) is out of practice Wednesday, Sept. 28. Fantasy Tip: J-Stew looks good when he's on the field, but every year it seems like a leg injury takes him out for weeks at a time. Cameron Artis-Payne rushed 12 times for 47 yards last week. Fozzy Whittaker had 22 rushing yards, but he had five grabs for 34 yards as well. Whittaker holds more value as a flex option against the Atlanta Falcons this week.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin to be more involved? Mon, 26 Sep 2016 15:18:34 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin could be more involved going forward after not catching a pass in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. He was only targeted once. "We've got to find a way to get him the ball more. That starts with me," offensive coordinator Mike Shula said. "But we've got to make sure we're doing it in a way that we're not just trying to force him the ball. Fantasy Tip: Benjamin had been on fire before the dud on Sunday. It was more than likely an anomaly for Benjamin against one of the better defenses in the league. He'll face a more mediocre pass defense in the New York Giants on Monday night next week. Yesterday's performance may cause some angst, but Benjamin is still a WR2 candidate. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Cam Newton twists ankle Mon, 26 Sep 2016 05:48:10 -0700 Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (ankle) twisted his ankle in Week 3, but he's in the facility Monday, Sept. 26, and feels fine. Fantasy Tip: Newton was 21-for-35 for 262 yards, no touchdowns and three INTs in a brilliant effort by the Minnesota Vikings defense. Newton has a favorable matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4, and he remains an elite option at the position. Comment () | Share:  |
