    Panthers ready to put Morgan on IR?

    In his weekly segment on Sirius NFL Radio this morning, coach John Fox strongly implied the Panthers are on the verge of putting middle linebacker Dan Morgan on the injured-reserve list, which would end his season.
    Fox said Morgan, who hasn't played since Week 3 because of an Achilles tendon injury, isn't going to be able to play anytime soon. Fox said the Panthers have injuries at other positions and may need Morgan's roster spot.
    Putting Morgan down for the season hardly is a surprise. He's never made it through a full season. But the question I have is, why have the Panthers waited this long to shut him down?
    This move could have been made weeks ago and the Panthers could have had a healthy player at some position who would know the system by now.
    The other question that comes to mind is, does this mean the end of Morgan's career with the Panthers? Probably so. The team has gone out of its way to keep Morgan, who's had a long history of concussions and other injuries. That was very nice because Morgan truly is one of the best human beings the Panthers have ever had and he's been a great player when he's been healthy. But he's never really been healthy for very long. Rookie Jon Beason already has shown he can play the middle at a high level. It's sad, but it's time to move on.

    The same source said that Delhomme will be golden, surgery went great.

    Source is an orthopedic surgeon.

    So, hopefully both parts are true.
