Reeder's Take

   Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart said he’s ready to play in the Sept. 12 regular season opener against the New York Giants.

   “Yep, I’m ready,” Stewart said Thursday night.

   Stewart didn’t play at all in the preseason, but said his foot is good to go. He said he planned on playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but was informed just before the start of the game that he would be sitting this one out.

   Stewart warmed up before last week’s game against Tennessee, but did not play.

   “I was just testing the waters last week, but if coach Fox wanted me to play I would have played (tonight),” Stewart said.

   When asked if he’s worried about not playing in the preseason being a problem, Stewart said. “It’s got to be no problem. I have to be ready regardless. That is what they pay us for to be professional and show up when it’s time. So I will be ready.”
