The linebacker and return specialist were held out of practice, along with a number of rest days as the Panthers began preparing for Sunday's game against Dallas.
The former Panthers linebacker tore his ACL three times, and came back stronger than before. Now, he's reached out to the rookie running back to offer support and advice for his comeback.

Despite late incompletion and some up-and-down moments in Sunday's loss at Philadelphia, the Panthers trust in all the rookie is capable of as he and the offense keep growing.
