Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart just passed along word to the world via his twitter account (link) that he was having foot surgery today.

No surprises here, but I think it raises flags against both our backs health. So those misguided fools who wanted to trade either of them, need to be aware that all teams will be cautious on their injuries.

Frankly, with both carrying problems this season, it would be nuts to move into next season with just one feature back.

He also mentions bits about the coaching holes.

Health of both our backs? Williams had a high ankle sprain at the end of the season....there is no question about his health.

Although, I do agree with you that we should not trade either of our backs.

Meh, it does not matter what the injury is, it was still missed time. You get players who manage to play their entire careers without having major injuries and play through minor injuries.

You get players who get few injuries, but the ones that are serious.

You get players who get minor injuries through their careers.

The point is, that both backs were struggling with injuries down the stretch this season and considering the unpredictability of the NFL, it would be insane to trade one away. It does not matter what the injury is, just that there was one.

Not sure that I would call one high ankle sprain an "injury problem" though.

Stewart, while doing everything we have asked, is most certainly still a big question mark as far as durability goes... For those that argue otherwise, please note how many weeks he didn't practice all week and how many times he was listed on the "Probable" list... Sometimes it was just to give him some rest, but a young back like him, if healthy, shouldn't need that much rest... Both that fact and his running style are going to limit his career length, and the teams that would trade for him know this just as much as we do...

to inject some truth into stewart being "injury prone"...

despite a list of injuries that would probably sideline most backs, stewart has missed 2 games in his 3 seasons at oregon and none so far in the nfl.

that's 2 games in 5 seasons.

the kid has proven he is able to perform, and perform at a high level, despite being less than 100%.

I wasn't saying he hasn't... I was more or less using that as how other teams would view him for trade purposes...

Never understood people suggesting DWill is injury prone, especially in College. He ran for over 6000 yards in 4 years at Memphis. He's proven over and over he's durable along the lines of Emmitt Smith. A high ankle sprain can happen to anyone and if necessary I bet he wouild have run the rock the last couple games this year but they were meaningless.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
