There's good news for the Carolina Panthers, who have played the previous two games without starting running back Jonathan Stewart. While Stewart has been dealing with a sprained foot, he's no longer using a walking boot, and took to the treadmill to start off the week. On top of that, the report is in that Stewart may actually practice on Wednesday.

Via Ed Werder of ESPN:
