The Facts:
Holt sat out the Oakland game as he continues to monitor his surgically repaired right knee. He apparently experienced some swelling in his repaired knee after a hard practice early in the week. "It's going to be one of those things where he's not going to be able to take as many snaps during the week," HC Scott Linehan said. "He took a lot that day (in practice). I just want to get him as fresh as I can for the opener."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It has been nearly seven months since Holt underwent surgery to repair meniscus cartilage in the knee, but Post-Dispatch staffer Jim Thomas advised readers it's becoming increasingly evident that he will not be 100 percent for Carolina. Holt insists his rehab and recovery are on schedule for the knee. But he admitted to some continued swelling and ongoing tenderness. "If I can manage that," he said. "I'll be all right. ..." For what it's worth: This news hasn't prompted us to drop Holt in our rankings; we'd still draft him without reservation.
