CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Carolina linebacker Jon Beason and running back Jonathan Stewart have returned to practice, giving the Panthers hope they’ll be ready for Sunday’s opener against Philadelphia.
Coach John Fox said after Wednesday’s workout that they “both looked great.”
Beason has been out since spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the second exhibition game Aug. 22. The hard-hitting middle linebacker led the Panthers in tackles the past two seasons and made his first Pro Bowl last year.
Stewart has been slowed by Achilles’ tendon pain that limited him to eight offseason practices, none since Aug. 10. He rushed for a franchise rookie record 836 yards and 10 touchdowns last season as the No. 2 back to DeAngelo Williams.
