Tight end Dante Rosario and cornerback Chris Gamble, who have missed time recently with hamstring injuries, both practiced on a limited basis Sunday. Receiver Muhsin Muhammad (ribs) missed his second straight practice. Receiver D.J. Hackett (toe), safety Chris Harris (upper leg) and tight end Gary Barnidge (gluteal strain) also sat out. Receiver Ryne Robinson (leg) and defensive tackle Ian Scott (ankle) also missed practice.
With Robinson hurt and backup receiver Jason Carter looking unimpressive last week in Philadelphia, coach John Fox said having rookie running back Jonathan Stewart return kicks Saturday against Washington is an “option.” Given how cautious the Panthers have been with Stewart and his surgically repaired toe this preseason, it would be a real surprise to see him in that role so soon.
Sunday was sponsor's day at practice. There was lots of music playing as the sponsors and their families watched practice from bleachers under tents next to the fields. Several players sat at tables afterward and signed autographs. Another sponsor's day is scheduled for today.
