« Morning update; QB Ryan on Panthers' D | Main | Panthers' closing schedule is NFC's toughest »

(Non)injury report
In what's a rare occurrence for an NFL team this deep into the season, the Panthers had everybody healthy and on deck for Thursday's practice.
Offensive lineman Jeremy Bridges, who had an irregular heartbeat over the weekend, and linebacker Thomas Davis (ankle) practiced after taking Wednesday off. Center Ryan Kalil's sprained ankle apparently is OK and he was out there too.
"Beats the alternative," coach John Fox said of the 100 percent participation as the team prepares for Sunday's NFC South game at Atlanta. -- David Scott

No injuries? On the Panthers?!?! That must be a typo...

Not to be a party pooper, but, I think I will take Kalil's current health status with a grain of salt lol.

Well, there is Dan Conner. He would have really helped in situational looks.
08 was a solid, maybe great draft. In 2-3 years we may have 4 starters and a few probowls from them.

"Beats the alternative."
Classic.
Every season that's gone down the crapper has been because of key injuries, like Steve Smith's broken leg or our fifteen injured runningbacks or Delhomme's elbow...
This guy, Coach Fox, knows what he's doing. I hope he's in Carolina for the rest of his career.

Justin, overcoming key injuries is what makes good coaches. This just tells me he's too set on his ways and his system. Very little flexibility and too much in the routine. I know alot of people don't like that coach in New England, but you gotta admit, THAT'S a guy who knows what he's doing.

I'll disagree with you there Justin. You can't coach a player out of a broken leg. Incuring injuries is the result of the players, and recovering from them is the result of the medical staff working with them. The only thing coaches can do is tell whether or not they're still injured. Decide too early, and you risk further injury.

Ray: You are right. That's why Fox is a great coach as he overcame having every RB injured and still took us deep into the play off. I'm glad you agree.
As far att the NE coach: Cheating I suppose you mean by "knows what he's doing"?
