This season will be the first season that Panther’s running back Jonathan Stewart will have the backfield all to himself, so naturally the conversation has been focused on Stewart thus far.
As many of you know, though, Stewart has missed significant time during his career due to injuries. Whenever anyone talks about an injury prone running back, it doesn’t take long before someone mentions Stewart, which makes us have to question the guys standing behind him on the depth chart.
As of right now (before training camp) Fozzy Whitaker is the No. 2 back behind Stewart, and there is no reason to think anything different.
