CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart typically addresses questions with short, distinct answers.
So when the 2015 Pro Bowl selection talked for more than a minute when asked how tough it was to watch the Panthers (1-4) struggle the past three games while he dealt with a hamstring injury, it was perhaps a sign of how eager he is to return.
That will happen on Sunday at New Orleans, where according to tight end Greg Olsen, Stewart never looked better than he did in a 41-38 victory over the Saints in December.
