If you are a Carolina Panthers fan, I have some great news for you. On Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com wrote a piece that discussed what the x-factors for the team would be in the upcoming season.
Buried within the X-factors was the nugget that wideout Curtis Samuel is cleared for full participation in training camp. There were questions as to how he would be health-wise throughout the course of the offseason and whether he would be ready to go. Now, those question marks appear to be question marks no longer.
Wide receiver Curtis Samuel, whose injury-plagued rookie season ended for good in Week 10 when he suffered a broken bone and ligament damage in his ankle, is expected to be cleared for full participation in camp after getting his speed back faster than expected.
