Storylines: Players Returning From Injury
Posted Aug 13, 2010
Zack Pianalto knows quite a bit - too much, in fact - about coming back from injuries. He's had a broken bone, a concussion, a dislocation, and a sprain keep him out of 11 of 26 games in the last two seasons. When he's been in the lineup in that span, Carolina is 10-3 against the FBS. Without him? 3-7. It's a startling statistic, but T.J. Yates has always relied heavily on the talented senior tight end.
