Charles Tillman returned to practice Wednesday and "looked well," Rivera said. The coach said he hopes the veteran cornerback will be available to play against the suddenly hot Eli Manning.
The Panthers could certainly use Tillman this week against standout wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Manning,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, who was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Carolina lost cornerback Bene Benwikere, who had been starting for Tillman,Nike NFL Jerseys China, to a fractured leg against the Falcons.
With the Panthers already having secured a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs, Rivera said he's going to be "very cautious" with Stewart moving forward. However,NFL Jerseys Sale Shop, he said the team doesn't view this as a long-term injury.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers will be without their starting running back on Sunday against the New York Giants as they look to keep their unbeaten season intact.
Carolina signed free agent Robert McClain to take Benwikere's spot. McClain, who was drafted by Carolina in 2000, has played in 63 games with 17 starts, recording 202 tackles and three interceptions.
