Updating a previous report, the Panthers have placed offensive lineman Jordan Gross on injured reserve, ending his 2009 season, according to beat writer Darin Gantt. Gross suffered a broken ankle in Sunday's win.

Our View:Gross had successful surgery on the ankle Monday, but the injury will still keep him out all season. This is a huge blow to a team that is starting to play better, and he will be sorely missed, as he is one of the elite tackles in the game. This could hurt the production of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, as the line will have trouble compensating for the loss.

Jordan Gross has undergone successful surgery on his broken ankle, but is expected to be placed on injured reserve on Monday, according to Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald.

Our View:This, of course, means that his season is over. To replace him, the Panthers are likely to do what they did on Sunday, with Travelle Wharton sliding to left tackle and Mackenzy Bernadeau taking over at left guard.

Updating an earlier report, Jordan Gross sustained a broken ankle in the game against Atlanta and could be lost for the season, according to ESPN.

Our View:Look for Gross to be put on injured reserve at some point this week. After his injury, left guard Travelle Wharton slid to left tackle and Mackenzy Bernadeau took over at left guard.

Jordan Gross exited the game against Atlanta in the second quarter with a right ankle injury.

Our View:The starting left tackle was carted off the field with what appears to be a serious ankle injury. Gross has been replaced by Travelle Wharton, who represents a downgrade protecting quarterback Jake Delhomme's blindside.

As expected, the Panthers have re-signed Jordan Gross, according to the Associated Press. He signed a six-year deal, but financial details are yet to be disclosed.

Our View:Gross is the anchor of the Panthers' offensive line as their best tackle. The Panthers placed the franchise tag on Julius Peppers after getting Gross' deal done.
