Carolina's DeAngelo Williams not only has emerged this season as one of the NFL's most electrifying running backs, he's also one of the league's most sure-handed players.

Williams didn't fumble during the regular season, joining San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson as the only non-fumbler among the 16 backs who rushed for 1,000 or more yards.

Williams has carried the ball for 495 consecutive rushes without a fumble, second only to Tomlinson's 844, according to the league.

Williams has only one fumble on a running play in his three-year NFL career, and he recovered that against St. Louis on Nov.19, 2006.

Williams also fumbled once after making a pass reception during the 2007 season opener at St. Louis. The Rams recovered the ball.

Williams ranked fourth in the NFL this season with 1,515 yards rushing and was first with 20 touchdowns. Both statistics set team season records.

Coach John Fox sounded optimistic Friday that his team's injured players have been able to heal during their playoff bye this week.

“We got probably a lot of good rest for them this week and we haven't pushed them too hard,” Fox said. “They still have (Saturday) and Sunday and we'll form back up on Monday. I anticipate they'll be a lot healthier then than they are now.”

Starting defensive tackles Maake Kemoeatu (ankle) and Damione Lewis (shoulder) didn't play in the final regular-season game in New Orleans, and starting offensive linemen Jeff Otah (toe) and Geoff Hangartner (ankle) were injured during the game.

It's likely that at least some of them would not have been able to play this weekend if the Panthers had not earned a bye.

Fox kept practices light this week. Players had three hour-long practice sessions without pads. They also lifted weights.

“We got some guys hopefully stronger and faster during the week with some good lifts,” Fox said.

Now that the regular season is over, the Panthers can resume negotiations with offensive tackle Jordan Gross regarding a long-term contract extension.

NFL rules prohibited any negotiating during the season because Carolina put its franchise tag on Gross during free agency last year and Gross played the season under a one-year tender.

The contracts of Gross and defensive end Julius Peppers expire after this season, and the team hopes to keep both Pro Bowlers.

General manager Marty Hurney has declined to comment on negotiations with their agents.

Had Foster been able to accomplish this he would still be here. I bet we would have had another playoff year as well. Sort of glad he didn't thought. I like Stewart better.

What makes your wonder is......3 votes for James Harrison w/ the Steelers. I'm still trying to figure out why. Just by glancing at the stats he was like 30th in tackles and 4th in sacks and I believe had a few ints. I guess what put him over the top was.....he was one of the few players to tackle someone for a safety. fuging Joke. :D

Ive got a question for you guys. When teams like the panthers have a bye week do coaches typically makes these guys go on lock down and study alot more film? I understand light practices to keep them fresh but at what lengths would fox go to get the panthers a heads up on the next team they face?

Fox said they'd be preparing for the Vikes, Falcons, and Cards this week, though I believe he meant the coaching staff.

Lead his team in tackles. Hey not trying to bash the guy but, didn't lead the league in anything except FF. If he played for the Chiefs or either of the teams in Ohio and had those stats.....he's my MVP.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      By strato · Posted

      damn I wish somebody would sign him. This has been going on for weeks.    I think if the team wanted to sign him we probably would have heard something about interest on our part.    Or any TE. It looks like they have set that room. And we have taken guys two years running, a guy like this would be blocking them. We need to see if they have it or not. And we should see if Tremble is gonna ever do anything.      In general, with the TEs

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Dude, there aren’t rose colored glasses big enough for you to call this “not a bad draft.” BC was not a good pick. He was taken with the 6th pick in round 3 and he’s been a backup OL. Tremble also wasn’t a win. Another 3rd rounder who’s easily replaced. Only reason either of them started games is because of injuries or a lack of a better starter. Chuba’s got heart but he’s had one solid year behind a solid run blocking unit. Other than that he’s underwhelmed and like we saw with Dowdle and Foreman, it’s not hard to find cheap pickups who perform as well. Horn has been a good starter but honestly that draft had so many solid starters we could have taken. With as many picks as we had, him and Chuba is absolutely a bad draft. We needed OL and BC and Brown was a terrible effort. You clearly didn’t watch the Senior Bowl if you thought Brown had a chance in the NFL. The huddle draft folks wanted Humphrey and Smith and instead we got crap and Mahomes was the winner.
