No, Panther Nation, this isn’t a bad dream. It happened again. Jeff Otah is running on the practice field, which means Jeff Otah is getting injured. My optimistic outlook says Jeff just sprained something. We will keep you posted on the latest regarding the MRI Jeff is scheduled to have. There was significant swelling on the knee.
Losing Jeff Otah wouldn’t be great news, of course, but thankfully Marty Hurney and Ron Rivera opted to deal Mike Goodson to Oakland for large and in-charge Tackle, Bruce Campbell as a safety valve. Whether it be Bruce Campbell, Byron Bell, or Amini Silatolu to step into the first line depth chart with this injury, expect some sort of production. This battle will be had in training camp. Much more will be determined once the results of this MRI come out. Panther Nation, keep your fingers crossed. A thin offensive line could prove to be a downfall if one or two guys end up on Injured Reserve.
