Jonathan Stewart returns to practice

[Jeremy Igo]

Jonathan Stewart returned to the Carolina Panthers practice field today with his usual sense of humor. 

 

Stewart participated fully in all drills that media was allowed to see. He took the first team snaps as usual . I did not witness any lingering issues with his foot that there may have been. However, all eyes will be on him tomorrow to see how the foot reacts to his first day back with a helmet. 

In my opinion, we will see Stewart full speed ahead on Sunday. 

 

Other practice notes: 

- Kurt Coleman was the first player on the practice field. His presence will be needed badly against the Seattle passing attack. 

- The receivers looked sharp, no dropped ball from what I was allowed to witness. Usually there is one or two. Devin Funchess has improved a great deal since the Panthers - Seahawks game earlier this season. He could be a big factor in the outcome. 

- Cam Newton was his normal self, laughing and cracking jokes during stretches.  The team seems loose but focused on the task at hand. Confidence is in the air.

Is that a velvet football?

Ted Ginn was back as well.

Ginn back is as huge as anything else, without a presence to stretch their defense, it makes the game that much tougher.  Glad they had that extra week!

1st, thanks for the pix.  It's really nice to have them. 

2nd.  How awesome is it that we have Stew, Ginn, Coleman & Klein all back healthy.   Apart from the inuries to Bene & Peanut, we've been truly blessed this season (especially the last half) with few serious injuries (after the awful preaseason and early weeks of the regular season).  Getting the bye and the first seed is so huge.

With almost every player on the team healthy, choosing the inactives for Sunday is going to be a tough tough task.

I'm guessing they'll be Fozzy (injury), Norwood, Marlowe, Bersin, Wegher.  After that it gets harder.  Probably Lou Young and maybe Ryan DelAire.  DelAire had a good game against Seattle in week 6, so perhaps he could be active.  If he is, not sure who we'd sit.... maybe Simonson.

Why is the ball on the wrong side of Ginn's hands?

I noticed that. The ball is at rest and cradled like a baby.

That's what I'm telling myself anyway.

My phone is currently on Ultra Power Save mode atm, and therefore everything is black and white. I must say, all these pics look great in black and white. this one of Ginn stands out to me for some reason though. 

Mad props Igo :)

With time that JStew has had to heal and the availability to him of advanced (read $$$) medical treatment on that foot, I'd be surprised if he's not 100% now.
