Reeder's Take


Barnidge out at least 12 weeks with fractured ankle

   Carolina Panthers TE Gary Barnidge was having a good training camp, but it now appears his season might be over.

   Barnidge fractured a bone in his ankle but suffered no ligament damage in Thursday’s non-padded practice, according to coach Ron Rivera. Rivera said there was no timetable for his return, but a team source confirmed Barnidge will be out “at least 12 weeks.” That would put his earliest possible return around mid-November, which is the second half of the NFL regular season.

   So the Panthers will now have to decide whether to put him on the PUP list and hope he’s a fast healer or go ahead and put him on injured reserve, ending his season.
