CHARLOTTE, N. Bruce Irvin Womens Jersey .C. -- The Carolina Panthers cant seem to catch a break these days. The Panthers announced they placed three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jon Beason on injured reserve Wednesday with knee and shoulder issues. Beason, 27, will have surgery next week to repair cartilage damage in his right knee and a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Beason has only played in five games since receiving a five-year, $51.5 million contract extension in 2011 that included $25 million in guaranteed money. He missed 15 games last year with a torn Achilles in his left leg. The Panthers claimed cornerback James Dockery off waivers from Cleveland to replace Beason on the 53-man roster. Dockery joined the Panthers at practice Wednesday. These are tough times for the Panthers. In the past two weeks, theyve lost centre Ryan Kalil, cornerback Chris Gamble and Beason to season-ending injuries and general manager Marty Hurney was fired. Adding to the frustration, theyve lost four straight games and have the worst record in the NFC at 1-5 entering Sundays game at Chicago. The move doesnt come as a surprise as Beason has missed the last two games with injuries and Rivera hinted he might be headed to IR. Coach Ron Rivera said Luke Kuechly, the teams first-round draft pick, will continue to fill in at middle linebacker. Kuechly started the season at weak side linebacker, but moved to middle linebacker the last two games with Beason out. Kuechly has 26 tackles in his first two starts in the middle along with an interception and a fumble recovery. "To me Ive learned that Luke is better suited as a middle linebacker," Rivera said. "He has the skill. He can play outside too but he has a natural feel and some natural leadership instincts as far as being in the middle. That is probably the best spot for him." What that means for Beasons long-term career in Carolina remains to be seen. Like Kuechly, Beason also prefers to play middle linebacker. Beason was unavailable for comment and his agent Drew Rosenhaus did not immediately return phone calls. If the Panthers were to release Beason this off-season, theyd be on the hook for $15 million against the salary cap, the remaining portion of his signing bonus. Rivera said Beason originally sprained his knee in Week 3 loss to the New York Giants and tried to play through it. "It just seemed to bother him more and more and when he got the initial MRI one of the ideas was to rest it and see how it was," Rivera said. "Thats why he had the last couple of games off. It didnt get any better so the concern was it was worsening, so the decision was made to do something about it." Beason tore his labrum in the New Orleans game and hes played with it since. Earlier in the week Gamble was placed on injured reserve with a torn labrum in his shoulder, too. "Hes battled through it the best he can," Rivera said of Beason. Kuechly said he has great respect for Beason and that the veteran has played a role in his early success this season. "Even when he was out, Jon was always real helpful," Kuechly said. "Every time I came off the field he was giving me tip after tip after tip. Hell still be around, Im sure. But his presence will be missed on the field." Russell Wilson Seahawks Jersey . -- Michigan State centre Derrick Nix has been reinstated after a brush with the law and will remain with the team as long as he meets certain conditions, coach Tom Izzo said Thursday. Marshawn Lynch Pink Jersey . Finishing on the Italian Riviera, the 298km race is in its 103rd year, and the longest classic on the calendar will host the worlds top racers. Whoever does well at this race will demonstrate early season form that could lead to an Olympic medal. http://www.nflseahawksteam.com/earl-thomas-jersey . The trio combined for 10 points as the Canucks dumped the Leafs 6-2 before a loud sellout crowd of 18,890 at Rogers Arena. Russell Wilson Official Jersey . Brian Leetch and Mike Richter were more than champions and star players. They were proof that Americans could play hockey, too. Russell Wilson Black Jersey . - Philadelphia native Chris Albright has signed with the Union. Reasons to Believe 1. On The Defensive – Despite their 0-7 start, Miamis defence was still in the top half of the league last year. The unit was playing very strong at the end of the season and if they can successfully transition from 3-4 to 4-3, should be one of the best units in 2012. Wake, a two-time Most Outstanding Defensive Player in the CFL, has 28 sacks in three years in Miami; someone for Canadian fans to cheer for. 2. Fresh Start – With HBOs Hard Knocks we get a close look at this years Dolphins and were seeing something players say wasnt there last year. New head coach Joe Philbin has brought in a freshness and crispness to operations and Dolphin players all seem to be enjoying the change. Its still to be seen how successful Philbin will be as a coach, but hes aced his first test: getting players to buy in. 3. Run Away With It – After years of not quite fulfilling his potential in New Orleans, Reggie Bush had the best season of his career last year with the Dolphins. For his next act, Bush says he wants to lead the league in rushing. Dont expect that to happen, but reports have Bush looking good in training camp; combined with backups Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller, the Dolphins have a surprisingly strong group of runners. Reasons to Doubt 1. Rookie Passer – Most people expect Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin – two of the most highly touted quarterback prospeects of all time – to struggle in their rookie seasons, so Dolphins fans have to expect struggles from Tannehill, the first QB taken after Luck and Griffin. Bobby Wagner Jersey. Tannehill beat out veterans Garrard and Moore for the teams starting job, but history suggests hell face his growing pains in year one. 2. Missing Targets – Compounding the challenges for Tannehill is the less than stellar receiving corps hell have to work with. Say what you will about Chad Johnson, he was at least a name receiver. After his release, Miami was left with tBobby Wagner Jersey. Tannehill beat out veterans Garrard and Moore for the teams sdlesome owner. There have been rumours and reports of Stephen Ross influence swaying football decisions since he became owner in 2008 – the most recent being his insistence the team draft Tannehill. That move may work out, but its rarely a good idea when an owner affects football decisions. What to Expect Not much is expected of the Dolphins in the AFC East. The Patriots remain division favourites until further notice, while a lot of people anticipate the Bills and Jets duking it out for second in the division and a wild card spot. Even without the pressure of high expectations, with a rookie QB starting from Week 1, it will be hard for Miami to crack the top three in a very strong division. ' ' ' |
