Rivera on activating Stewart (laughs): "Read between the lines." ... So I'm assuming Stewart will be active.

Rivera: Want to see how Stewart feels tomorrow. Says he's excited about prospect of having him back in

All signs are Stewart will be active vs Falcons, barring setbacks.

With DeAngelo Williams out today with a quad injury, Stewart took majority of 1st team reps. Unless setback happens, he’ll play vs Falcons.

Ron Rivera won’t say Jonathan Stewart is for sure coming off PUP list, but whispers “read between the lines.” #Panthers

Panthers practiced in full pads today for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks. Stewart got bulk of carries. Rivera says DeAngelo could have worked

Was Rivera holding up three fingers when he said "Read between the lines"?

Rivera on status of RB @Jonathanstewar1 "He'll be ready if we need him(winks) Very exciting." He whispers 'read between the lines' #Panthers

No reason to tell Atlanta right now whether or not he's gonna play.

Why not?  It would be better if they thought he would play.  It will just give them more to have to study.  My guess is he just doesn't want to commit in case JStew has some type of set back.  I'm assuming the Falcons are preparing for him to play anyways.

Just having the possibility that he'll play makes it necessary for them to study him...  no sense in letting them know for sure.  

 

No NFL coach worth a poo will tell things they don't have to.

i guess this would be better to ease him in vs the falcons rather than the niners.  hope it doesnt f up our chemistry.
