CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart are questionable for Thursday night's game against the Miami Dolphins because of lingering injuries.
Williams skipped practice Wednesday with a sore left knee, but coach John Fox said the Panthers were "resting" the running back. Stewart practiced in full after sitting out Tuesday with a sore Achilles tendon.
Defensive tackle Damione Lewis is questionable with a sore shoulder, but he practiced Wednesday.
The biggest concern for Carolina is defensive end Charles Johnson, who is doubtful after missing his second consecutive practice with a strained pectoral muscle. Johnson plays mostly on passing downs.
Fullback Brad Hoover and safety Charles Godfrey also are doubtful, but they aren't expected to play because of ankle injuries.
