Beason and Stewart will be ready for week 1

Charles Chandler with a bit more information:

RB Stewart still on hold, but hopeful

Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart still isn’t giving any assurances that he’ll play in the season opener against Philadelphia, but he indicated there’s a chance he’ll try to practice this week.

Stewart said after Thursday night’s exhibition against Pittsburgh that he still has soreness in his Achilles but that “we’ll see how things play out” this week.

Stewart hasn’t practiced since Aug. 11 and participated in only eight practices during training camp after sitting out all minicamp and summer school drills.

He said he’s been staying in shape by doing pool exercises with team trainers.

“Mentally, it’s been real tough,” said Stewart. “The good thing is, with the playbook, I’ve got that kind of tucked into my belt. Because of that (compared to his rookie preseason last year), it’s been a lot easier. I’m not worried about the plays, (but) it’s frustrating to not be able to get out there and improve in areas I know I can improve in.”

At this point, Beason is much more important to have on the field. The defense will improve immediately with him at the helm. Stewart would be great to have back in the game, but if he's not ready then D-Will can take more carries with Goodson stepping in and the running game will be just as deadly.

    • In terms of enthusiasm at this exact juncture it's a 5 only because regular season football is back and we are 0-0 and there is the development of some key young players that I am very interested in seeing in regular season action. That brief high will probably be knocked down to 1 by October though.
    • I think the preseason performance has caused a "Meh" Cloud  to hover over the fan base.  I still have some interest and while I don't expect a lot of wins, I think there are other things I would like to see in terms of the team at least going in the right direction. On offense is Bryce the guy and is XL moving forward? Is the defense performing better with DB back Are the rookies and 2nd year players developing? That said, for me there is some intrigue but I don't think they will compete for a playoff spot.  
    • Well just a few years ago they went to the playoffs and won a playoff game with Daniel Jones at QB. And while the Giants have been up and down at best since their last Super Bowl they have shown to be a more competent organization. While the Panthers haven't so much as sniffed the playoffs in nearly a decade. Logic would dictate that the Giants strategy has a high probability to be at least modestly successful. The Panthers? Eh.
