Panthers lose Davis to knee injury
By JENNA FRYER, AP Sports Writer
September 17, 2004
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Carolina Panthers have not had a very good week: Running back Stephen Davis was lost Friday with a knee injury, just days after star receiver Steve Smith broke his leg.
Davis and Smith are the defending NFC champions' top two offensive threats.
Davis, who ran for a career-best 1,444 yards last season, began having problems with his knee after practice Thursday, and an MRI showed ``a small cartilage problem,'' coach John Fox said Friday.
He had arthroscopic surgery Friday, and will miss Sunday's game at Kansas City. The Panthers said he would be out two to five weeks.
Smith, who led Carolina in receptions (88) and yards receiving (1,110), is out indefinitely after breaking his left leg in Monday night's loss to Green Bay.
DeShaun Foster will replace Davis at running back, and rookie Keary Colbert is expected to start at receiver. Chris Gamble, another rookie, could replace Smith on punt returns.
``As I told the team, we have got 53 men out here we think we can start and win for us. They have got to step up,'' Fox said. ``It is part of the game. Kansas City is going to play without some starters. These guys understand that. It is not the first time it has happened.''
Foster was a solid backup to Davis last year, and started two games in place of him while Davis nursed an ankle injury. He ran for 429 yards on 113 carries, and had 26 receptions for 207 yards and two touchdowns.
Foster was also solid in the postseason, running for 196 yards and two touchdowns in four games.
He first proved his worth in a regular-season game at Indianapolis, filling in for Davis when he left in the second half with a bruised arm. Foster came in and carried 16 times for 85 yards to help the Panthers to an overtime victory.
But that was behind a drastically different offensive line than Carolina has this year. Three starters are gone from that unit, and the Panthers struggled to run behind the new line on Monday night. They had just 38 yards on the ground, and Davis had 26 on nine carries.
Davis, who set career marks last season for rushing touchdowns (eight), rushing attempts (318) and 100-yard rushing games (seven), said last week that staying healthy was the only goal he set for himself this season. He's completed a 16-game schedule just once in his career, in 2001.
``Being a running back in the NFL, you will get the wear and tear,'' he said. ``You have to be durable to go through it. But that's a goal, to play the whole season injury free, although anything can happen. I'm just going to take it one game at a time and roll on.''

If I didn't know better I would say they were sorority girls. One was blonde and the other was a brunette with a leopard print thong. I could kick myself for not bringing my camera. Fortunately, everybody else in section 312 remembered their camera.
The girls were kissing here in there through out the game. Around the time of the infamous wave, they were out on the stairs. Some guys started chanting... "kiss the girl, kiss the girl". And they put on nice show for us. Since we are in a season ticket section, i hope to see them again.
Luckiest man on earth at that particular time...

BF is right. They'll never go back and take anything away but I think the punishment was pretty bogus. It just encourages teams to try to get away with the stevestojan now. As a matter of fact.... Maybe they should check the Patriots cap...

Can't we all get along? It should be a good weekend series this weekend and next.

Dilbert has to be one of the best strips ever. It's funny and usually hits the nail on the head. Great stuff.

It's over, get over it. So I guess nobody will route for hockey when they come back? Oh wait..... There aren't that many that route for hockey anyway.

I would call them one hit wonders but since they didn't win last year I guess I can't do that.

My wife has a Tahoe. We looked at some with the 3rd row and they looked pretty roomy. She loves the Tahoe. The GMC Yukon is pretty roomy as well but they are about 6 or 7 thousand more than the Tahoes....

I would never wish an injury on any player but I would wish for him to play like stevestojan for the season.
