"CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Carolina Panthers linebacker Dan Morgan will miss the rest of the season as he struggles to recover from at least the fifth concussion of his career. ADVERTISEMENT "He did meet with the medical people and they felt it was in his best interest not to play the remainder of the season," coach John Fox said Wednesday. Morgan was injured after his head hit the turf in the season-opening loss to Atlanta and hadn't played or practiced since. He has met with several specialists. "We're concerned about his livelihood and his health and if that means he doesn't play this year, so be it," Fox said. Fox said last week that Morgan, the Panthers' first-round pick in 2001, does hope to play football again despite the multiple concussions. "He definitely wants to play again, when he's healthy," Fox said. The Panthers have not placed Morgan on injured reserve, but are expected to this week so they can sign another player. Chris Draft will continue to start in Morgan's place at middle linebacker. "Chris has done an outstanding job for us," Fox said. "He's a veteran guy who understands the defense. Meanwhile, Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams will not play this Sunday against Baltimore. Williams sprained his right ankle last Sunday against Cleveland."

bummer

10/11/2006 2:51:57 PM

good thing he's already got that big contract.

10/11/2006 2:53:15 PM

why oh why could we not have kept witherspoon instead

10/11/2006 2:56:21 PM

at least some other LBs will get some experience

10/11/2006 2:56:53 PM

10/11/2006 3:02:30 PM

Damn it, we should have kept 'spoon.

10/11/2006 3:04:44 PM

hopefully he won't retire

10/11/2006 3:11:23 PM

This guy is worse than Biakabatuka

10/11/2006 3:15:05 PM

sounds about right

10/11/2006 3:16:00 PM

hopefully he won't will retire

10/11/2006 3:16:37 PM

yeah if he doesnt retire he is going to end up a vegetable

10/11/2006 3:17:20 PM

yeah look how bad off aikman turned out

10/11/2006 3:19:01 PM

why would you want him to retire?

he's a great LB when he's not hurt (which, admittedly is not that often)

10/11/2006 3:19:35 PM

^He is wasting the team's money.

They could use it to get someone that will play more than 3 games a year.

10/11/2006 3:20:52 PM

^^, see ^

panthers would be far better off with witherspoon plus the extra $$ that they waste on Morgan every year to get someone else.

10/11/2006 3:23:57 PM
