Finding the true diagnosis of a Carolina Panthers injury may be more difficult than locating a needle in a haystack. Ever since coach Ron Rivera took over in Carolina (2011), he has been historically tight lipped about injuries, regardless of their impact on the roster. From backups and reserves to franchise quarterback Cam Newton, the Panthers have never been a team to volunteer injury related information.
A majority of the time Rivera is protected by the mantra of not wanting to jump to a conclusion or perhaps he’s waiting on pending medical test results for conclusive results to be determined.
