Neither has practiced on a Wednesday in months.

Thanks for the knowledge. I live in Tampa, and the local radio hacks are playing this up as an advantage for the Bucs. They are clinging to any hope.
I am also wondering about the extent of the injury......he did come back last week but I didn't see any of the game and don't know what/if any impact it had.

I have a sneaky feeling DeAngelo is going to be a last minute inactive this week... No reason really for the Panthers to run him when he's hurt at this point in the season -- let him rest up some and get totally healthy before he plays again -- nothing really to play for this year and besides Stewart could easily handle things in Tampa...
I have both in one league and am not going to be near a computer before the games Sunday morning... Right now, I have Stewart starting and Williams on the bench...

I don't think anyone has a proper handle on how injured DWill really is at this point. Considering he returned to play in the game last week after the ankle injury, I wouldn't have a sneaky feeling that he wouldn't play unless I heard that he didn't practice on Thursday and Friday.

With all due respect, I don't track at all with this. See the 2008 San Diego Chargers through week 12 (4-7). The middle tier NFC teams like Green Bay, Philly, and Atlanta are not so fantastic that the WC spots are theirs. M Moore could give this team a spark, and they could go on a run. If Deangelo's hurt pretty bad then yes, he should sit. But each game from here on is very important for Carolina.

Stewart is a lock to play. We'll know more on DWill once we hear about practice on Thurs/Fri.Playing TB defense would be absolutely scraping the bottom of the barrel IMO, but you could get lucky (although I would hope there are better options available --- maybe the Bills tonight?)
Why is Stewart a lock to play, but DWill isn't? They both sat out Saturday (as they both have for the last several weeks). With the information we have right now, I'd say they both are equally likely to play. Now if one or the other misses practice on Thursday or Friday, that would change things.

I think they will both play as expected. I am just saying that Stewart is normal ... he never practices on Wed and should be fine like he has been every week..therefore I conclude he is a lock to play. With DWill, he injured his ankle in last week's game and returned to the game afterwards, but missed practice yesterday. You never know with these things so right now we are in a wait and see mode to see whether or not he practices. We should hear something regarding today's possible practice participation in the next few hours.

Do you have a link? Also, was today's practice indoors? I know Wed's practice was indoors b/c of the rain and sometimes they might want to wait until they are outdoors against to test the ankle on a softer surface (grass) compared to the hard indoor turf.

Hmmm. Hypothetical. If D Williams is out by kickoff and it's Stewart's job for the day, does he become a top 5 option this week? Together these guys can both do a lot of damage, but one alone against TB's defense could be pretty nice.

Does Goodson have ANY value here?

Sutton passed him on the depth chart.
stewart always sits and there has been no new injury or reaggravation of his achilles. deangelo, however, has a new injury, a somewhat nasty ankle turn. he did return for a bit, but didnt look particulary explosive. ankles are often able to be played on initially due to adrenaline and lack of swelling but they can get progressively worse after a day or 2. im somewhat concerned about him.
I thought I saw that that FB I forget his name passed Goodson on the depth chart. All bets are off with an injury to Stewart and/or DW though.
Understood. However, when the thread started (and as I posted in the post you quoted), they both had sat out only Wednesday's practice. For the last several weeks, this has been normal for them both. With DWill sitting out today, it looks more likely for Stewart to play and Williams to sit. However, it should be noted that Williams was limited last Thursday, and didn't practice at all on Friday, but still started and had the most carries in last week's game.
AT this point, I for one would prefer DWill to be OUT and I can start Stewart (with confidence) rather than having to decide between the two....as my other RB is MJD. Given that both will be active, while I have rolled with DWill all year, I may opt to go with Stewart this week. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the story at game-time will be.

I am done if Williams doesn't play. I have no other option if he doesn't so I hope your dream doesn't come true...haha.I could see possibly playing Stewart, but that might only work out if the Panthers have a comfortable lead and Stewart gets a lot points in the last 1.5 quarters or so. You never know how the TDs will shake out b/w these two, though, so it could be a nice wise-guy kind of move if you go that way.

Panthers | Stewart practices in full Thursday

Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') practiced in full Thursday, Dec. 3, and is expected to start in Week 13.
Don't know if it is a type-o or not, but KFFL is reporting that Stewart may be starting!

Geeked about starting Stewart. Tampa has a poor run defense, Williams is questionable, new Carolina QB, and....

KFFL also had this.....
If Fox says he expects Williams to play on Thursday, why would Stewart be expected to start on Sunday?

yea ... that "expected to start" part (i think KFFL added that to lead to this confusion) can't be found anywhere on CarolinaGrowl.com, which links you to the Gaston Gazette (local paper)
here is the link with the info from this Steve Reed reporter
it sounds like the proper update at this time is that Stewart practiced today, Williams didn't and that Fox hopes Williams practices tomorrow and expects that he will play

This is what Fox said today:On running back DeAngelo Williams missing two consecutive days of practice with an ankle injury: The running back position takes its wear and tear on the body. Right now, medically, they felt like he was best getting treatment today. So there is always tomorrow.
On if he is hopeful that Williams will be able to practice on Friday: I'd be hopeful he'd be able to go Sunday for sure and anything before that I'd be happy with, too.
On what players miss by not practicing: I'm a firm believer it helps to be out there in practice; otherwise, we wouldn't go through the exercise of practice. But with a guy that's been in the system - like Jonathan (Stewart), like DeAngelo (Williams) - has had countless reps at the plays - we don't invent new plays every week, just different wrinkles. But I'd prefer they be out here. I'm sure they'd prefer to be out here. But at the end of the day they're still in meetings; they still know the game plan; they're on top of what they need to know to execute the game plan.
On if it is easier for a running back to play and not practice than any other position: I don't think it's easy for anybody. It's just a necessary evil when your body is banged up.

excellent info Simey
thanks for posting

Boogey woogey woogeyI wouldn't mind Williams sitting out this week and making a healthy return next week when alot of FF playoffs start. I don't need another Turner situation, especially with SJax having a bad back and Peterson and Grant not really lighting it up. Thankfully, C Johnson has been hot.

I'll be surprised if DeAngelo doesn't play Sunday, even if he doesn't practice tomorrow. If his ankle starts hurting him during the game, they can just let Stewart play more. I think they will keep the ball on the ground a lot, especially since Tampas rush D is soft. Moore will probably take a few shots downfield to Smith. Moore has a nice deep ball. I'm glad he is finally getting a chance to play this year.

Wow.... you can't even discuss the Carolina backs without bringing up the Patriots.What the bleep is wrong with some of you guys?I'd love Stewart to get a start here... Really interested in what he can do and what the team can do without Jake...Cawbird said:

& ^Looks like D Williams didn't practice today either.

RB D.Williams did not practice and is questionable...DT T.Tyler ruled out...WR D.Jarrett, DE C.Johnson, CB C.Munnerlyn all doubtful.
daringantt on twitter
RB Williams (ankle) held out for a third straight day, listed as questionable. WR Muhammad (knee) returned, should be OK.

DeAngelo Williams (ankle) missed his third straight practice on Friday, according to Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald. He is officially questionable for Sunday.
I think that's all we know. We'll know more if there is a report of practice Saturday, but this is strange.
I think he did get his leg torqued pretty badly in that game Sunday. I was surprised he came back in.

If Williams sits, it looks like it will be a gametime scratch. Given that, I'd expect both Fox and Williams to say they expected him to play. No sense in giving the Bucs more info than they have to.
Any chance they keep Williams active but just don't play him Sunday? I'd be nervous about penciling Stewart in as the starter without Williams being officially ruled out.

I guess anything is possible, but I don't see that happening. What is more likely possibility is that Williams could be active and play like Frank Gore did at MIN in Week 6 and then reaggravate the injury on the first carry for 4 yards and then miss the rest of the game. Regardless, it looks like a lot of us will be rolling the dice one way or another if he is active on Sunday.
