Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer reports Panthers WR Steve Smith is a longshot to play against the Bears this weekend. Smith sustained a high ankle sprain late in the third quarter Sunday after tumbling into a pair of Saints defenders.
Report: Carolina WR Steve Smith Likely To Miss Game Against Bears
Gantt writes:
When asked if he feared the injury would keep him out of next week's game against Chicago, Smith's eyes shot wide with dismay.
"Go next week? I'm just trying to walk to the bus," Smith replied. "I'm having trouble walking. Is it serious? I can't walk. That's pretty serious. It hurts to walk."
For now, we’ll take the word of one of the league’s toughest receivers. In the past calendar year alone, Smith has weathered a broken arm, sore ribs, and another broken arm. I might be forgetting a couple severed toes, a bout of scurvy, and a tracheotomy, but that’s the gist of it.
