People joke all the time that the ‘NFL’ stands for ‘Not For Long.’

Usually they use that as a pithy reference to the cut-throat nature of the business side of the league. Everybody from players to General Managers can be jettisoned without so much as a thanks for stopping by when they start under-performing Womens David Mayo Jersey , no matter how beloved they are by their fans. It is also a useful phrase for fans of teams who are trending the wrong direction. The play offs are approaching and the Panthers recent loss to Seattle put a serious dent in their plans to participate.Applying the short-term memory ethos of “Not For Long” means we, as fans, can step back and say “What Seattle game? Didn’t you see the Saints lost to the Cowboys?” Because that is hilarious, it hurts less to talk about, and it happened more recently. I mean, seriously Womens Devin Funchess Jersey , even the Panthers beat the Cowboys.Anyway, that’s enough about the NFC South’s most disappointing team.

The Panthers held their first practice ahead of their Week 9 game against the Buccaneers today, and they provided some good news on the injury front: the only player on today’s injury report who missed practice with an actual injury is wide receiver Torrey Smith, who is still nursing a sore knee after colliding with the ground against the Eagles. Smith missed last Sunday’s game against the Ravens after missing practice every day last week.Defensive end Julius Peppers took his usual Wednesday off for rest, as has been the custom every week this season. Safety Mike Adams got the “old man’s day off” as well. Quarterback Cam Newton was limited again, which is what the Panthers media is calling the ‘new normal’ for the franchise signal caller. If it helps him play the same way he did against the Ravens Youth DJ Moore Jersey , then it’s probably a good idea to limit his reps in practice during the early part of the week.Rookies Andre Smith and Rashaan Gaulden were back to full practice reps today, which is a good sign. Smith has missed the last several weeks with a hamstring injury, and Gaulden was kept out of last week’s game against the Ravens with an ankle injury.Here is today’s full injury report:Panthers injury reportDid not participate in practiceS Mike Adams (rest)DE Julius Peppers (rest)WR Torrey Smith (knee)Limited participation in practiceTE Greg Olsen (foot)QB Cam Newton (shoulder)Full participation in practiceS Rashaan Gaulden (ankle)LB Andre Smith (hamstring)Practice StatusDid not participate in practice = 0% of a player’s normal repetitionsLimited participation in practice = Less than 100% of a player’s normal repetitionsFull participation in practice = 100% of a player’s normal repetitionsGame StatusOut = Player will not playDoubtful = Player unlikely to playQuestionable = Uncertain if player will play
