"Surprise, surprise! WR Smith in pads at practice

Panthers WR Steve Smith just emerged from the locker room minutes ago in full pads and apparently will practice today. I’m not sure how much Smith will do today, but it’s good to see him ready to go. He must be a pretty quick healer.

Smith injured his shoulder in Monday night’s practice and sat out the last three days.

Coach John Fox said previously that he expected Smith to be ready for the regular season and that he might even play some in the preseason."

When God sat down to make Steve Smith, about halfway through the process, he realized he was using more power than one physical being could possibly contain. So the leftover he made Lorenzo Lamas.

Yes!

He did not participate in contact drill or the 11 on 11. He was running some routes and catching balls.

Smith returns: Update

Receiver Steve Smith has returned to practice this morning, four days after hurting his shoulder. Running back Jonathan Stewart (sore Achilles) is missing another practice. Smith caught a few passes in drills early on, but didn't participate in contact drills later in the practice. Afterward, coach John Fox said he didn't know if Smith would play Monday in the team's exhibition opener against the New York Giants, but said Smith is "OK." Other players missing morning practice were LB Thomas Davis (knee), S Nate Salley (knee), G C.J. Davis (ankle). -- David Scott

i was out there thi morning and he looked fine. i watched him work with kenny moore after practice for a bit. lemme tell you, that talk of him having a strong passing arm are no joke. the guy has a rocket on him. he overthrew moore one time by quite a bit.

no contact stuff, like what has been said but that isn't surprising. he did make a couple nice grabs, though. wouldn't expect anything less.

Would be entertaining to see that in a game sometime... if it works especially

Well obviously his shoulder isnt bothering him if hes out there launching a football....it was his right shoulder that he hurt, correct?

Smith was asked if he'd be ready to play in the team's first exhibition next Monday against the New York Giants.

"I know," Smith said, "but I won't say. And nobody's told me not to say anything."

Smith participated in light drills early in Friday morning's practice, but was held out of contact drills later. He tried to get into one of them, but was called back by coach John Fox.

"I was out there, but coach told me to go to the sideline," Smith said. "I went back and I think I shocked him because I was putting my mouthpiece back in. He said, 'Did you hear me?' and I said, 'I'm not going to debate you.' " -- David Scott
