Player Notes
December 17, 2005
The Panthers placed Stephen Davis on injured reserve on Saturday because of a swollen right knee, according to the AP. The move means that DeShaun Foster will be the starting running back for the rest of the season.
December 17, 2005
The Charlotte Observer reports that Stephen Davis missed practice Friday and was downgraded from questionable to doubtful due to his sore knee.
December 16, 2005
The Panthers added Stephen Davis to the injury report with a sore knee, according to the Charlotte Observer. He is listed as questionable, but he practiced on Thursday.
December 4, 2005
For the second week in a row, the Panthers gave Stephen Davis the token start only to turn the featured role over to DeShaun Foster early in the game. Davis rushed for just eight yards on five carries and will have very limited fantasy value if used in this manner. Foster had 179 yards of total offense and two touchdowns.
November 29, 2005
Even though Stephen Davis had just six carries compared to the 22 DeShaun Foster had Sunday, coach John Fox said Foster hasn't taken over as the Panthers' primary running back, according to the Charlotte Observer.
November 27, 2005
Stephen Davis carried just six times for 22 yards in Week 12 as the Panthers turned to DeShaun Foster as their primary rusher. Davis carried just once after the second possession, and that was a goal-line chance that he failed to convert. If the Panthers stick with Foster, Davis will be a short-yardage specialist for the rest of the year.
November 21, 2005
Stephen Davis got only four carries for six yards yesterday, all in the first half, according to the Charlotte Observer. Meanwhile, DeShaun Foster got nine carries and tallied 41 yards. "We tried to marry those carries up a little bit," coach John Fox said. "Stephen's had more touches and we tried to get DeShaun more equal touches."
November 17, 2005
Stephen Davis was held out of practice yesterday, likely just as a precaution to rest his sore knee, according to the Charlotte Observer.
November 7, 2005
Stephen Davis continued his torrid scoring pace on Sunday with two more rushing touchdowns, giving him 11 for the season. Davis also rushed for 48 yards on 12 carries, giving him a solid average of 4.0 YPC. It was the first time since the season opener that he averaged at least 4.0 YPC and the first time since Week 2 that he averaged better than 3.0 YPC.
November 3, 2005
Stephen Davis was held out of practice yesterday to rest his sore knee, but he is listed as probable, according to the Charlotte Observer.

October 14, 2005

October 13, 2005

September 11, 2005
Stephen Davis started at tailback for the Panthers in the season opener and rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. DeShaun Foster was given plenty of work, as well, and finished with 41 yards on nine carries.
September 8, 2005
Stephen Davis said he is aiming for 300 carries this season, according to the Charlotte Observer. That may be a bit unrealistic for a 31-year-old back coming off microfracture surgery, especially when DeShaun Foster was listed as first on the Panthers' depth chart yesterday. Davis has been practicing with the first team, but coach John Fox has refused to designated a starter. Both likely will see action in Week 1.
September 6, 2005
The Panthers recently restructured the contract of Stephen Davis to include a $1.25 million split salary, according to the Charlotte Observer. That salary would kick in only if Davis goes on injured reserve this season. If that were to happen, his salary-cap hit would be prorated off the $1.25 million salary. He is likely to start for the Panthers in Week 1.
September 4, 2005

September 2, 2005
Stephen Davis was impressive in the Panthers' preaseaon finale on Thursday night despite rushing for just 17 yards on five carries, according to the Charlotte Observer. Barring any setbacks with his surgically repaired knee over the next few days, he should enter this season as the Panthers' No. 1 running back. "It felt real good," Davis said of his knee after Thursday's game. "The thing is, I want to see what it feels like (today)."

The exhibition finale against the Steelers is the most likely target for his return.
