Quote:I'm wondering if we can confirm the injury status for their two CBs. A Panthers fan told me a few days ago that Tillman had already passed the concussion protocol and is good to go. Norman, however, is still in their concussion program and needs to pass the final test. I haven't read anything official though.


Looking at the official injury report from the Panthers website, Norman was listed as having limited participation in practice while Tillman is not even listed.

Tillman has been cleared and is practicing. Norman hasn't been cleared and has been limited in practice. Thoughts/feelings from the team is that Norman will be a go. I'm guessing we will see him at full practice today - if not then i will be worried.


Playing Norman in the preseason game was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard and of course he gets hurt. Norman is our best CB (and he's really good), without him our secondary is very thin.


Benwikere isn't a guy you guys probably haven't heard of. He's a second year player. He's played more of the nickel but has shown he can be an every down back. Normally we would line Norman up again a team's best WR (he shut down Julio twice and Mike Evans) and Tillman and Benwikere would most likely alternate the other CB positions.


Not having Norman would be in line with losing KB. The word from the national media is that our secondary is weak. This is the best secondary we have had in quite some time. Without Norman though.....yikes.


Edit: just saw that Norman was in full pads yesterday. Guessing that means he was cleared but I haven't heard that "officially" anywhere.
