The Facts:
The Panthers went seven games with Stewart to start this season, and they'll be without him for a few more after the running back injured his MCL in Sunday night's 31-13 loss to New Orleans. Stewart suffered an MCL tear and will not play this week.
Reported by the Charlotte Observer
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
HC Ron Rivera said Stewart would get evaluated in 10 days and added it's possible Stewart could return in the regular season finale at Atlanta. Rivera said he was unsure how serious the MCL injury was, but he was certain Stewart's ACL was not affected. Starting running back DeAngelo Williams will see more carries in Stewart's absence. That bodes well for Williams, who thrives with more touches. He leads the team this year with 662 yards on 164 carries for an average of 4 yards per carry.
