The Facts:
Stewart said a sore left Achilles is what caused him to miss all of the Panthers OTAs, but that he should be ready to practice when training camp arrives in early August. The injury was apparently related to Stewart overcompensating for a toe problem that slowed him down last off-season. “It just kind of flared up,” he said. “I’m pretty much staying off of it to just kind of let it heal.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Gazette staffer Steve Reed notes, Stewart, who ran for a Panthers rookie record 836 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, didn’t practice at all over the past four weeks, but did participate in the conditioning sprints Tuesday that marked the end of this summer’s OTAs. According to Reed, he ran at a fast pace and appeared to be close to 100 percent. The Panthers are off until Aug. 2, when they report to training camp. Stewart's status will be worth watching once camp begins.
