CHARLOTTE — Steve Smith’s timing couldn’t be any better. Smith announced Monday he’ll be back in the starting lineup this Thursday night when the Carolina Panthers travel to face the Cincinnati Bengals.
That good news comes after a lackluster performance by Carolina’s offense in a 20-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Friday night and with an upcoming game in which top draft pick Cam Newton is expected to see his most extensive playing time with the Panthers.
Newton, Smith and the rest of the starters are expected to play about three quarters as coach Ron Rivera is treating the team’s third preseason game as if it were a regular season game. “It will be fun,” Smith said after Monday’s practice. “Today was probably our best practice. We were going on all cylinders.”
CARRY ON
