The Facts:
It remains unclear when Stewart, who rushed for a Panthers rookie record of 836 yards last season, will return. It certainly won't be tonight it's looking more and more unlikely he will be ready for the [Week 1] game against the Eagles.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A lingering sore Achilles has kept Stewart on the sidelines for much of the preseason. In fact, of the 48 times the Panthers have practiced during 2009 -- including training camp and organized team activities in the spring -- Stewart has been on the field for eight of them. Although Mike Goodson has shown he could be a sufficient backup to DeAngelo Williams, Observer staffer David Scott notes that Stewart's absence fundamentally alters the dynamics of the offense. Without him, the team doesn't have the battering-ram kind of style he provided when Williams wasn't in the game.
