Stewart seeing ankle specialist today

When most players have serious foot and ankle problems, they get on a plane to go see Dr. Robert Anderson.

Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart just has to go down the hall, since Anderson’s one of the Panthers’ team doctors.

 

According to Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer, Stewart is seeing Anderson this morning, at which point the Panthers will know better whether the sixth-year running back is going to be ready for the regular season.

“It’s one of those things, he’s still going through a couple other things with the doctor,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “It’s one of those things that we’re just waiting to get the answer.”

Since Stewart hasn’t practiced this offseason, he’s still eligible for reserve/PUP, which would allow him to return after the first six weeks.

The Panthers could use him, especially with a renewed interest in running the ball with their running backs instead of the quarterback this year.

*crosses fingers*

Come on, give us good news!!! We need J-Stew for the opener.

nevermind the opener, we need him this entire season. If he isn't there this season I will have to admit he's rather useless in reference to remaining healthy enough to actually help. This raises the question will Barner replace him or DWILL? Sad enough will all this backfield power versus the actual results we could cut two of those big contracts and get legit O-Line help and fulfill any weakness in the run D! Just a thought, but this is getting old because Stew really is the type of Powerback we desperately need to boost our passing threat!

11 days before kick off and Stew is just now going to get an answer.  Boy howdy, I sure hope the Doc says everything is OK because if he does, Stewart will be our featured back and he will prolly rush for 200 yards...WTF?

 

I don't give a damn what Anderson says, this whole situation sucks and there is no "good" answer coming today.  Him being 100% at the beginning of next year is all I am hoping for as I am tired of watching Panthers that don't belong on the field "give it a go" like Otah or Beason or Gettis.  Just give Barner the carries and move on.

I doubt Stew has just been sitting on his hands, which is why this visit is so troubling.  He wouldn't be going in unless something isn't healing right.

 

fuging hell what a poo situtation. 4 million in cap space not even on the field...

I doubt the news will be good

 

Im guessing IR to be honest.

It's all quiet, then this. Sounds like something isn't healing right.

 

No worries guys, we can release him in 4 years and it not fug our cap completely.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
