SECOND OPINION FOR SALLEY ? Safety Nate Salley, firmly on the roster bubble this year, spent the last two days getting a second opinion on his sore right knee.

He was back on the sidelines Wednesday, but hasn't practiced since Aug. 7.

The Panthers need him healthy one way or another. He's due to make $1.01 million this year, and if they cut him that salary slot would go a long way toward acquiring the defensive tackle they need. If he's not well, that's a heavy charge for a non-producer.

Salley, their fourth-round pick in 2006, has been a special teams player throughout, and only played 16 games once (last season).

Salley placed on I.R.

The Panthers placed safety Nate Salley on injured reserve today after releasing rookie defensive tackle Lonnie Harvey. That brings the team's roster down to the required 75 players. They will release 22 more on Saturday to get to their roster down to 53 players for the regular season.

Salley injured his knee in training camp and hasn't practiced for several days.

Not sure, but......does being placed on IR means that Nate cannot suit up for any of the season? Even when cleared by the doc? And that also means that he receives his full salary (plus medical)?

So in essence, he is still a member of the team, gets paid, and maybe more importantly, a year to rehab and recoup his strength. Or am I missing something here? (Hope not for his sake).

If I remember right if no one picks him up when he's waived on the IR, which is pretty much the norm most teams don't pick up people on the IR, he goes back to the team that waived him and on the IR so no loss on his part.

The Ol' College Try: Nate Salley
March 11, 2011

college%20try%20salley%20article.jpg

Virginia Destroyers safety Nate Salley chose to come to The Ohio State University to play football in 2002 after prepping at St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) High School.

After winning a National Championship as a freshman and starting the final 33 games of his career at free safety for the Buckeyes, it?s clear Salley made the right decision.

?As a whole, it was some of the best times of my life,? Salley said. ?I?m definitely glad I made the decision to come to Ohio State. I fell in love with it from the minute I visited it, and I?m glad I made that choice.?

Salley said his new life as a Division I college football player became real on his first day on the OSU campus.

?It was just an exciting feeling to be in college, period,? he said. ?It was a dream of mine to play D-I ball, but to be college athlete, it was a big deal to me and my family.?

Salley said the 2002 BCS National Championship Game, a 31-24 OSU win in double overtime over the University of Miami (Florida), ?was great, because it was a huge game for me, just being from Florida. When I initially chose Ohio State, everybody was like, ?What are you thinking?? People wondered why I was going there and not staying home. It was time to try something different, and Ohio State showed me I was one of their top prospects.?

Salley said Ohio State kept coming at him, and that persuaded him to join a Buckeye recruiting class that included Omaha Nighthawks running back Maurice Clarett and current NFLers Troy Smith, A.J. Hawk and Santonio Holmes.

He finished his Buckeye career with 181 tackles, three interceptions, 15 passes defensed, a forced fumble and a blocked kick.

?It was a great ride,? Salley said. ?We just had a great time there. We all came in together, did well, most of the guys are still in the league, and it was great.

?I still love Columbus today. It will always have a special place in my heart. That time definitely changed my life and molded me into the man I am today.?
