The Facts: HC Ron Rivera told reporters Stewart's hamstring should keep him out at least a week or two.

Diehards Line: Stewart is getting an MRI, which will give the team a better feel for that timetable. But it certainly seems safe to say the veteran tailback won't be available against the Vikings this weekend. Fozzy Whittaker picked up the slack after Stewart left Sunday's win over the Niners. Cameron Artis-Payne was inactive for a second-straight week. That's will change with Stewart out, with the two of them splitting the work in Stewart's absence with local observers expecting Artis-Payne to start and Whittaker to serve as the change of pace. We'll follow up on that as needed.
