It’s been a while for Carolina Panthers rookie linebacker Andre Smith. The former North Carolina Tar Heel has not appeared in a game since the preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills. Straining his hamstring on the second play of the game, he has not appeared in a contest since.
Per a report from Bryan Strickland of Panthers.com, Smith expects to be ready for the preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday.
“I’ve got an opportunity – I’ve got this one – so I’ve got to make the most of it,” Smith said.
