Charles Godfrey breaks his hand & Panthers Make Roster Moves

Just announced but another injury has surfaced for the Panther Defense. Apparently Charles Godrey broke his hand during the game Saturday night as reported by Darin Gannt.

Starting FS Charles Godfrey had surgery to repair a broken right hand. No word yet on his timetable.

Since he wasn't being extremely effective this appears to be a minimal hit, but more importantly takes depth again away from another position because of injury. Darin is also reporting that Quinton Teal will slide into his place as starter at FS for the time being.

To add depth back in to the position, they signed free agent S Kevin Kaesviharn. This of course means they had to release someone and give us an indicator of how the depth chart will form. To make room WR Jason Carter was released. Despite his standout performances in training camp he wasn't making the grade during live action.

I'm putting this season on the coaches. With all the injuries, it will really come down to how well the coaches do their job in getting all the newbies ready for the season.

This isn’t good. We have caught the damned injury bug again this year. To bad for Cater, but the guy just wasn’t making any progress.

Wasn’t Kaesviharn really good at one time? Any chance he may start?

Darnet! Beat me by a few minutes. Ah well.

Kaesviharn is 33 and he’s getting older. He struggles in coverage. I think he’s just insurance.

At least Teal and Kaesviharn will get to battle it out over the next couple of games.

Any chance he could challenge Chris Harris though? He has not played well the past couple of games.

Glad to see Teal will get more time.

Teal's played well

Glad to see he’s getting an opportunity. He closes on the ball well.

Kaesviharn won't last to the Eagle's game

Two reasons
1) He’s done as a player—when you’re a DB and you get cut by New Orleans, you should take the hint.
2) He’s been around a long time and his cap figure will be too high if we keep him.

This guy is just here to keep Godfrey’s seat warm for the next two preseason games.

Ouch...but good point

The Saints have been pretty bad in the secondary, so that does say something.
