CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Panthers have signed veteran running back Jonathan Stewart to a one-year contract extension, keeping him with the team through the 2018 season.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed Friday.
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman says the 30-year-old Stewart ”is still playing at a very high level.”
Stewart played in 13 games last season for Carolina and ran for 824 yards with nine touchdowns. He averaged 3.8 yards per carry.
Gettleman isn’t worried about Stewart’s durability, even though the team’s former first-round draft pick has not played in a full 16-game season since 2011 and has missed 24 games the past five seasons with injuries.
Stewart, entering his 10th season, is Carolina’s second all-time leading rusher with 6,638 yards and has scored 45 touchdowns rushing and six receiving.
