Observations from Tuesday’s Carolina Panthers minicamp practice, the first of three this week.
u25aa Running back Jonathan Stewart, who was limited last week by a foot injury, was heavily involved in the early portions of team drills Tuesday and looked good running and cutting.
u25aa Defensive end Kony Ealy got a hand on an option pitch from Cam Newton to receiver Brenton Bersin, who was still able to bring in the deflected pitch and get short yardage down the sideline.
u25aa Backup quarterback Derek Anderson couldn’t connect with running back Fozzy Whittaker, who’d worked open behind Ben Jacobs on a wheel route deep down the sideline.
