i’m guessing it’s definetly mcl just theyre debating if he should go the surgery route or rehab it.
We know it's serious ? But how long Barky will be out ? This will test the Panthers character. But will make them stronger until Barky comes back.

Only good thing we got is the rest of the team is healthy and hungry that definitely wasn’t the case last season heal up come back ready for playoffs cap 🫡
Unreal. Feel terrible for Sasha.
@2:30, who's vacuuming in my house?
They played like old men against both Cali. teams.
Armando Velez of Locked on Panthers reported he’ll be back in 10-12 weeks, but didn’t mention the actual injury. I assume it’s MCL related, but weird for him to report it on Twitter when the coach is saying they don’t know for sure exactly what it is?
You think he just made it up and it’s educated guess or is he a legit reporter?!? He certainly doesn’t travel with the team like these reporters.😅
If he needed surgery he would of left for florida rite after the san jose game the fact that he stayed with the team is a good sign
No doubt barky will be back but knowing pomo if florida is in good playoff positioning look for pomo to keep him out longer
