Steve Smith Already Back at Practice

Just a couple of days, Steve Smith was injured in practice and it was speculated early on that the injury could be serious. However, it turns out Smith suffered a minor injury. In fact, Smith is already back at practice for the Carolina Panthers.

“It doesn’t hurt as much,” said Smith. “Sleep is kind of difficult, but it’s all right.”

This is obviously great news for the Panthers. Smith is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and his big play ability is invaluable. Without Smith, the Panthers’ hopes of bringing home a Super Bowl trophy would have all but evaporated.

Although Smith didn’t participate in the team portion of the practice, he was in pads and went through the individual drills. With plenty of time before the start of the regular season, there’s no reason for Smith to not be 100% by Week 1.

With Smith healthy, Muhsin Muhammad will likely be the second wide receiver and Dwayne Jarrett the third wide receiver.
