CHARLOTTE – Running back says he's trying to return from a foot injury as soon as possible, but head coach Ron Rivera plans to exercise as much patience as possible.
With the way rookie Cameron Artis-Payne handled his chance to carry the load, patience might be the best virtue.
"He looked real good, just like we expected," Stewart said. "He's been coached well, and he did his job.
"It's tough to be injured. I'm taking it day by day, just trying to get better."
Stewart didn't practice Tuesday after sitting out Sunday's victory over the New York Giants with a foot injury suffered a week earlier.
