The Facts:
After taking part in his first practice as a pro, Stewart was pleased with how his surgically repaired toe held up. Injured late last season at Oregon, Stewart hadn't practiced since November. The injury kept him out of all off-season workouts. "I can feel it, but it's one of those things where it's bearable and it's going to get better as the year continues," Stewart said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With the toe still a concern, the Panthers are expected to limit Stewart to one practice a day early in camp. "We'll be cautious with him moving forward just because he is getting in football shape as well as getting used to carrying pads," HC John Fox said. "But he looked good for a first day. ..." We still consider a healthy Stewart to be this year's top rookie RB prospect.
