Panthers' Otah to miss at least season opener
Football Betting Lines
09/09/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carolina Panthers starting right tackle Jeff Otah will miss at least the club's season-opener on Sunday, since his recovery from off-season knee surgery is taking longer than expected.
Head coach John Fox said during training camp that he hoped the 6-foot-6, 330-pounder could return in time for the season opener September 12 against the New York Giants.
However, on Thursday, Otah revealed he might not be ready to return to action for another two to three weeks.
Otah missed the final three games of the 2009 season after suffering a torn meniscus in the same knee at New England on December 13. He underwent surgery in the spring and was placed on the physically unable to perform list when training camp opened.
He had a second procedure to clean up the knee on August 4.
Geoff Schwartz, who played the position in Otah's absence at the end of last season, is the likely replacement until Otah's return.
The Panthers used the 19th overall selection in the 2008 draft on Otah, who played collegiately at Pittsburgh.
