Because the OP was too lazy:

DAVIS, BEASON MAKING PROGRESS: Linebacker Thomas Davis, who is working an injured calf back to full strength, practiced extensively Sunday afternoon.

“Thomas practiced an awful lot today, the most he’s practiced (in a while),” Rivera said. “I was pretty excited to see him on the football field. Probably the biggest thing we got out of today was watching Thomas run around.”

Jon Beason, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, did not participate Sunday, but Rivera said he hopes to have the middle linebacker back on the practice field Wednesday. There is a chance Beason will make his preseason debut Sunday against the Jets.

“If he has a good couple of days, hopefully, we’ll see him on Sunday,” Rivera said.

OTHER INJURY NOTES: Rivera said center Ryan Kalil and tackle Byron Bell, who were checked out after getting stepped on in Friday’s game against the Dolphins, suffered no injuries. Both practiced Sunday.

Rivera also confirmed that the calf injury running back Jonathan Stewart suffered is not serious.

Wide receiver Steve Smith was given the day off due to a sore foot.

Additionally, linebackers Kenny Onatolu and Jason Williams did not practice Sunday. Onatolu, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Dolphins, is a long shot to play against the Jets, according to Rivera.

Williams hyperextended his elbow in the game but Rivera is hopeful he’ll be back later in the week.

And not a word about Neblett and his mysterious sickness.

Wonder what's going on there.

Here's hoping they get 100% healthy and stay that way.

Go Panthers!!!!

great news to hear across the board.

if our 1's do to the jets what they did to the dolphins we should sit them early, maybe even before the second quarter hits. give the backups reps and prevent any further minor first stringer injuries. if the guys seem to have the rust shaken off no point in keeping them out there.

So - do you guys want to see Beason on Sunday against the Jets? For selfish reasons, I want to see him out there, even for limited snaps, just to see him at game speed, then pull him out and don't play him against the Steelers in the meaningless fourth preseason game.

I know many will say sit him until week one, but I would like him to get some game action before then.

Yea I'd like to see him in there for a bit but pull him early. Get him cutting and hitting some just to get a feel for the game but don't risk anything with him. Might be a good idea to slide Kuechly inside after pulling him just to acclimate him to both positions.

Hell to the naw. I selfishly wanted him to play the first regular season game last season and looked where that ended up.

Even if he is a little rusty in Tampa Bay, it'll be better than risking a prolonged hammy injury in the preseason.

what's a phone douche?

Immy excitement wants TD and Beason out there against the Jets, but on the other hand I don't want anyone rushed back too early.
