Jonathan Stewart (ankle) returned to Panthers practice Wednesday.

Stewart was limited, but it's a positive sign for his Week 2 status after he failed to get in any practice time last week. A graduation to full practice either of the next two days would be a strong indication he'll play against the Saints***. For now, consider J-Stew a game-time decision. Thankfully for fantasy owners, Carolina is playing at 1ET Sunday.

I heard Smitty was limited with a knee injury though. Which sucks.

[Guest Bwood]

Great news. We need Snoop if we don't wanna start the season 0-2.

[PantherBlue]

Good to hear. I'm actually glad it wasn't any worse after I seeing it happen. Thanks for the info.

Good to hear. I guess Stew will need to blow up lofton since Vilma is a cheating ***.

[Jesse]

As long as he can play even a limited role against the Taints, I'll be happy.

Rivera said he would play "without a doubt".

Stewart is my favorite player, and his importance was made key last week. Praying he comes back healthy and effective.

Rivera said that he is definitely playing and it is just barely sore. Nothing that would even slow him down in a game. They just want him to take it easy. Which I mean I see no reason for Smith to go 100% ever in practice anyways.

seemed to get mixed messages as to how much work stewart put in at yesterday's practice, but rotoworld is cleaning up what they reported...

Coach Ron Rivera said Jonathan Stewart (ankle) "took his normal reps" during Wednesday's practice.

Stewart was a full participant in practice. "He looked good. He started a little slow in terms of cutting; he was a little apprehensive I think," Rivera said. "As practice went on (the ankle) loosened up more and more. I expect him to be out there (Thursday)."

Stewart cuts?

News to me... i thought he just sorta puffed up his shoulders and ran full speed.
