Panthers RB Stewart doubtful for Sunday

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart is listed as doubtful for this Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons because of an ankle injury.

Stewart sat out last weekend's 27-21 setback in Kansas City and has not practiced all week with a lingering ankle injury he sustained in a Week 12 victory over Philadelphia.

Over nine games this season, Stewart has carried the ball 93 times for 336 yards and a touchdown.

Wide receiver Brandon LaFell (toe), linebacker James Anderson (back/eye) and defensive tackle Dwan Edwards (wrist) were unable to practice all week and are listed as questionable for Sunday.

Center Jeff Byers (back) and safety Charles Godfrey (back) returned to practice on Friday on a limited basis and are listed as questionable.

Tight end Greg Olsen (back) missed practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday, but returned as a full participant for Friday's session and is listed as probable.
