Panthers coach Ron Rivera told reporters Friday Jonathan Stewart (ankle, PUP) could return to practice next week.

The "earliest" Stewart would play in a game would be Week 9, though it sounds like he's trending in the right direction. Per beat writer Joe Person, Stewart went through his "most extensive workout" on Friday, and the team "wants to see how he feels tomorrow." Stewart has yet to be activated to the 53-man roster, and will be in street clothes for Sunday's battle with the Rams.

 

 
 

Rivera also provided an update on running back Jonathan Stewarticon-article-link.gif (ankle), who was put through a "rigorous" workout with trainers on Friday.

"They kind of mimicked what he would go through in a game and they really put him under a lot of stress," Rivera said. "They had him cutting, breaking and turning. They had him pulling the sled. They put him through the paces of what he could expect going forward.

"How he feels in the morning is about as serious as it gets for us. If things are A-OK then we can get that clock started and get him ready to play."

If Stewart, who is currently on the physically unable to perform list, responds well to Friday's workout, Rivera said he could return to practice next week. From the moment Stewart returns to practice, the Panthers have three weeks to add him to the active roster.

The Panthers play the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay on Thursday, and due to the short week, Rivera said Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons is likely the earliest Stewart would return to game action.

      Which is why I'm all for trading Lamelo. Guy misses half of every season. I swear he just likes to sit on the bench to show off his street clothes. I think it negatively impacts the other guys who do the same. If guys don't want to play, they don't need to be here. Coach and gm need to get stricter

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      See, I have a different view of it. I think that just the opposite is very true, and often proven on our very own team.  Look at the impact that CMC had when he was here.  Look at how bring in two top rate IOL to play guard last season made a huge difference in finally getting a stable front for Bryce to live behind. It took a while for it to bear fruit, but those last games were just relevatory. And off ball linebackers like Luke Kuechly, not just running a defense but dictating the game when he's on the field, truly remarkable what a difference that makes. Personally, he had as much or maybe even more to do with that Super Bowl appearance as Cam did.  What I see in the NFL is teams trying hard to cover up for a lack of good linebackers by stacking the D-line. But it gives them a crust defense, one that is hard and crunchy on the outside but a feast within. Linebackers shouldn't just rule the middle of the field, but should be directing traffic and working as enforcers.  But hey, whatever. "Devalued" positions often come back to bite you in the ass when they are neglected. Ask anyone who has had to clean up the mess left behind by a former college coach who took over a pro team and brought their college recruiting mindset in. Yanno, like Matt Rhule did.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see it this way--XL was raw.  Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL.  XL will be more experienced.  He will have an offseason of jugs work.  He is a very good athlete.  He can only get better.  Wallace?  Same thing.  He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S.  I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024. Derrick Brown. DE Brown III NT Wharton DE Jones Edge Moehrig S Princely. Edge Scourton. Edge Ransom. S Cam Jackson NT Roseboom  LB While we may not know what we have, we know what we don't have--
