Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart will not play versus the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, due to back tightness.
Stewart is a surprise late scratch, after he was expected to play all week. It's his first game missed of the season and will likely lead to a bigger role for Christian McCaffrey.
In 15 games played this season, Stewart rushed 198 times for 680 yards and 6 touchdowns, adding another 52 yards and 1 touchdown on 8 receptions.
