D-Will sits out on Wednesday with knee injury (1 Viewer)

DeAngelo Williams missed Panthers practice Wednesday with a knee injury.

The injury isn't known to be serious, so D-Will owners shouldn't panic yet. Jonathan Stewart (heel) also got his routine Wednesday off. Keep an eye on this situation, but both members of Carolina's "Double Trouble" backfield should be ready for Week 10. They'll face Atlanta's porous run defense. Nov. 11 - 2:18 pm et

I'm not worried about DWill this weekend but I am considering benching him due to better matchups for Ray Rice (at Cleveland) and Pierre Thomas (at St. Louis).

Look at the last 2 weeks.I believe the Arizona D was #1 against the run when Deangelo put up 158 on them.NO D was #11 against the run when Deangelo went for 149 and 2 td's on them.I see D-Will as a plug n play. Put him in your lineup and forget about it.

He would have had a 3rd TD, but he dropped a pass in the end zone.

Didn't see the game, but was it an easy pass, or a tough pass he should have caught, if you know what I mean?

It was pretty easy, but I think DWill was expecting a typical Jake pass and was expecting to have to dig it off the turf. Surprised him with an accurate pass and DWill just wasn't ready for that. No big.......
 
Sounds a little worse on CBS Sportline

Head coach John Fox said Williams tweaked it and will be evaluated. Williams is considered questionable at this point for the Panthers' Week 10 game vs. Atlanta.

I hate when coaches say "Tweak"
 
When did he tweak it? Practice or during the last game?

I do remember him coming up a little gimpy after one play. It looked like he had his ankle rolled under a bit but he came back in after a series or so and finished the game.

And for that matter, when he came back in he was still lightening fast. It didn't seem to bother him one bit. I'd be surprised if there is anything seriously wrong.
 
I'd rank Rice higher than DWill this week personally...but I'd put DWill higher than Pierre this week.

Back to the topic...if DWill "tweaked" something in the game, then I don't think it's serious at all, he looked good the whole game last weekend. However, if he did it at practice, that's a different story...never know about that

 
Not sure what to make of this tidbit. Waiting to see if he practiced.

Panthers coach John Fox said DeAngelo Williams' knee injury is something they'll evaluate "day-to-day."Fox called the injury a "tweak." Williams rarely misses practice so it's a little concerning, but we fully expect him to start against the Falcons Sunday.Source: Rock Hill Herald

The word "tweak" usually means some kind of strained ligament. Tweak is not used for a bruise. Calvin was out over two weeks with a tweak.

Here's my concern.....given the info above........so 1:00 is approaching Sunday....DWILL is listed as "active"....you have J Stewart as a b/u - on your bench....you wonder, how healthy is DWILL? How many touches? etc...etc....do you roll with DWILL or roll with J Stewart? Personally, I would rather have DWILL listed as inactive or out rather and roll with JS than being in the position of "who to start" and then second guess myself all day.

you must be joking

Which part? The part about not worrying or the part that he is considering benching him for Rice and Thomas?

benching him for Rice & Thomas. if there isn't injury concerns than i don't see how anyone sits the guy. he has been a beast lately and is looking very much like the guy that carried several teams to championships last year.
 
DeAngelo Williams was limited in Thur. practice.

Stewart practiced fully

If he can go fully today he should most likely play Sunday, but if the Panthers get a decent lead will Fox let Stewart/Goodson finish?

Also, to the leagues with Thursday lineup deadlines referenced earlier in this thread------> :thumbdown:

What are the chances that the Panthers get a lead they feel safe with against Atlanta?

Next to zero.
 
DW missed practice today (Fri) as per Roto. DW's status is now officially a headache for ff owners.

What are we looking at realistically here? He practiced Thursday (limited) and then sits out Friday? Ugh. Doesn't look likely he'll play, IMO. 75/25 against it would seem.

 
If he can't go... that'd be terrible...

Kolby Smith or Betts... :goodposting:

I am sure that leaves a lot of DWill owners with some sort of decision.

 
I have a Mike Bell/Pierre Garcon for JStew trade waiting to be accepted. Leaguemate said he'll accept tonight. I hope he still does...I have DWill. UGH!

 
Conflicting reports. Thought he is listed as questionable. Now a game time decision?

"According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Panthers consider DeAngelo Williams (knee) a "game-time decision" for Week 10.

While it's good news that Williams is walking without a limp, the team won't know his status until assessing his health and cutting ability in pre-game warmups. The Panthers-Falcons game has a 1PM ET start. We expect him to play, but you'll have to check back at noon Sunday to know for sure."

I don't think there are any conflicting reports. He is listed as Questionable (50% chance of playing) on Panthers.com and he didn't practice Wed or Fri and had a limited practice on Thurs. It sounds like pretty consistent reports to me and the dreaded gametime decision.

So Kolby is the for sure starter in KC now?
Click to expand...
As far as I know, he is going to be sharing the work load, and most likely get most of the touches between the tackles. But no annoucement by the coach if he is the 'starter' or not. Just with Slaton on bye, and Portis out... down to Betts or Kolby.

Sounds like his knee flared up after practice..not good. I am playing the guy who has J-Stew this week too! :goodposting: :)
 
It's been pouring rain since Wednesday here (remnants of Ida) and the Panthers have been practicing indoors

From daringantt's twitter:

# I think practicing on turf was a factor. RT @greebs What odds would YOU place on DeAngelo playing? Cautionary or is he really hurting? about 1 hour ago from web

He got rolled on a bit in the NO game, but he played the rest of the game pretty effectively. My feeling is that with the terrible weather and the practice on turf (BofA stadium is grass, obviously), that its precautionary. But he's questionable because there's no real way to tell before warmup how the knee is doing.

Check his status before the game, if he's active, I think he's full workload go.

Good information. I thought about the weather issue too. From what I've read the indoor practice facility is quite small. No need to practice running plays ad nauseum when that is their staple. My belief is that DWill is just recharging his batteries for this weekend. Remember, their bye was week 4 so it makes some sense to take it easy when the weather sux, you tweaked your knee in the last game, you're a vet., the running game is fine, and you haven't had a day off in 5-6 weeks.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this is the case. If the injury would have happened during practice I think we'd have know that.

I think that's highly unlikely. The fact that he practiced Thursday, but not Friday is problematic to me. Had it been the other way around (sits Thursday, practices Friday) I would say there's a very high probability he plays. I'm not sure at 3-5 with a must win division game in 2 days that Carolina can afford to have DeAngelo "recharge his batteries". On the other hand, because it's such a critical game, I can see him trying to play at <100%. Hard to say at this point.
 
Reminds me of Donald Brown last week. He practiced Wed and Thurs. Sat out Friday with a questionable tag only to be inactive on Sunday.

 
Someone on here living in CAR needs to get updated information right from DWill himself.

I don't like hearing that my #1 pick has a knee issue. I'd love to hear that its just some excuse to get him some rest during the week.

Damn. Doesn't he realize that my FF life hangs in the balance this week? Most likely, the loser of my game may very well be on the outside of the FF playoff picture.

Let's go...CAR insiders!
