The Facts:
Foster opened Carolina's mini-camp Wednesday on the practice field, showing no ill effects from the broken ankle that knocked him out of the playoffs last season. He also declared himself fit to be the Panthers' starting running back. "I've been looking forward to it for a while, and now it's finally here," Foster said. "So I am going to try to make the best of it."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That's going to require staying healthy for the first time in his NFL career. ... Foster blew out a knee in a pre-season game his rookie year; he missed two games in 2003 with a broken hand; a broken collarbone cost him 12 games in 2004. Last year, Foster made it through the regular season only to break his ankle in January. ... That he's working is a good sign but the Panthers used their first-round pick to draft running back DeAngelo Williams as insurance.
