The Panthers’ biggest injury concern heading into their Divisional Playoff with the Seahawks involves their No. 3 receiver. All things considered, that’s not bad, but Carolina could certainly use speedster Philly Brown in Seattle.
Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Brown subluxated his shoulder during Saturday’s Wild Card win over the Cardinals. A subluxated shoulder usually occurs after a partial or complete dislocation. An MRI revealed no structural damage, and Brown’s status for the Seahawks won’t be determined for a few days.”He’ll have to go through the healing, and it’ll be as he can tolerate the pain,” Rivera said. “He’s doing well. He was in this morning, got his workout in, went to the meeting, now he’s back in there getting more treatment.”Brown had three catches for 37 yards against the Cardinals before he landed on his left shoulder while trying to make a catch in the end zone just before halftime. It’s the second shoulder injury in the last five weeks for Brown, who didn’t miss a practice after he sprained his right shoulder against the Saints early last month.Desperate for speed, the Panthers inserted the rookie into the No. 3 role in Week 13. He’s caught just 12 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown during Carolina’s 5-1 run, but his ability to stretch the field has helped open up more room for others in the offense.
Too Early to Determine Philly Brown’s Status for Seahawks

No it’s not…he’s out. No way he can be effective. Could it be a Joe Webb or (GASP!!!) Stephen Hill debut?

PantherFaninGA There’s no structural damage, they said it was more about pain management. So I don’t know, maybe he gets a cortizone shot or whatever and is fine. It’s not like he isn’t going to get plenty of time to heal if we lose.
