I wrote my column today about Ron Edwards, the Panthers' new defensive tackle who tore his triceps in his very first practice as a Panther.
(MONDAY UPDATE from "Inside the Panthers" blog: Edwards has to undergo surgery and will likely be out a minimum of two months, and maybe the whole season).
This was a column I actually wrote twice. I talked to Edwards Thursday night by phone (I was out of town and not in Spartanburg, although I will return there for much of this week). He sounded happy. The column was slated to be published on Monday -- occasionally we try to work a few days ahead in the sports coverage business, although to do so is always somewhat perilous.
I wrote most of the column Friday. Sure enough, on Friday night, the Panthers said Edwards had torn his triceps.
At first, I was going to throw away the column completely. But then I decided to rewrite it instead, more on the theme of how quickly the ground can shift under your feet in the NFL (as in life).

Hi Scott: Could someone in the Panthers organization address the question: Why does the team seem to suffer season ending injuries to major players every season that strangles the team when other teams don't seem to suffer such problems. Is there a problem with the training or rehab position in the Panthers?
