| Player Notes |
| November 17, 2004 Stephen Davis had microfracture surgery on his right knee. It's the same procedure that DeShaun Foster underwent in 2002. Foster was able to return in 2003, but Davis, 31, is six years older. Even if he returns in time to play next season, he may not be physically capable of opening the season as the starter. |
| November 13, 2004 The Panthers placed Stephen Davis on injured reserve, officially ending his season. Davis could not get his troublesome knee to stop swelling up even after practice. It's questionable whether he will play for the Panthers next season. |
| November 12, 2004 The Panthers have downgraded Stephen Davis to out for Sunday's game against the 49ers. With Brad Hoover still listed as questionable, Joey Harris could get the start. |
| November 12, 2004 The Charlotte Observer reports that the Panthers are considering placing Stephen Davis on injured reserve, which would formally end his season. After practicing Wednesday, he sat out of Thursday's session, and he's listed as questionable for this weekend. Davis has been dealing with a knee injury for most of the season. |
| November 11, 2004 Stephen Davis admitted Wednesday that the problem with his knee is in the articular cartilage, according to the Carolina Observer. He said additional surgery has not yet been discussed and he believes he can return this season. His injuries will likely cost him at least $3 million in performance incentives this year. |
| November 9, 2004 The Panthers are no closer to knowing when Stephen Davis will return from his injured knee than they were last week, according to the Carolina Observer. "I don't know that it's structural; obviously there's a problem, otherwise he'd be playing," coach John Fox said about the knee. "... All you can do is treat it and keep it from swelling. If there is swelling it makes the knee less effective." |
| November 7, 2004 Despite practicing this week, Stephen Davis is inactive for today's game, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Joey Harris will get the start at running back for the Panthers. |
| November 7, 2004 Although Stephen Davis practiced again Friday, he remains listed as questionable, according to the Charlotte Observer. "He'll be a game-time decision," coach John Fox said. |
| November 4, 2004 Stephen Davis practiced for the second consecutive day Thursday, and the Panthers are hopeful that he can play on Sunday, according to the AP. Davis is recovering from knee surgery he underwent after the opening game of the season. |
| November 4, 2004 The Charlotte Observer reports that Stephen Davis was able to return to practice on Wednesday. Nursing a bad knee, Davis is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. |
| November 2, 2004 Stephen Davis might return to action this week, though Panthers coach John Fox said only that Davis' return was a possibility, according to the Charlotte Observer. The running back is recovering from knee surgery. |
| October 27, 2004 Panthers head coach John Fox said Wednesday that Stephen Davis will not play this Sunday against the Seahawks. Davis continues to be bothered by swelling in his knee. |
| October 26, 2004 Stephen Davis said yesterday he was unsure if he would be able to return from his ailing knee this week, according to the Charlotte Observer. "I really don't know how long it's going to be," Davis said. "Just take it one day at a time." |
| October 24, 2004 As expected, Stephen Davis is inactive for the Panthers today. Brad Hoover, Nick Goings and Joey Harris should share the rushing load. If one player takes the lead, it will probably be Hoover. |
| October 23, 2004 Still unable to practice Friday, Stephen Davis has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for tomorrow's game, according to the Charlotte Observer. While Panthers coach John Fox said Davis is "not necessarily" out for Sunday's game, clearly he doesn't look like a safe play at this point. He's had swelling and soreness in his surgically repaired knee this week. Fullback Brad Hoover could see the bulk of the workload if Davis doesn't play, though Nick Goings and Joey Harris could share the load. |
| October 22, 2004 The Charlotte Observer reports that Stephen Davis missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday and is listed as questionable due to his surgically repaired knee. "Any time a player doesn't practice it concerns me, but we'll see how it does (today)," coach John Fox said. Nick Goings and Joey Harris would be the candidates to replace Davis, if the starter can't play. |
| October 21, 2004 Swelling in the surgically repaired knee of Stephen Davis kept him from practicing yesterday, according to the Charlotte Observer. "He didn't re-injure it," coach John Fox said. "He's had swelling in his knee, really, all season so it's more of the same." |

| October 17, 2004 Stephen Davis returned from arthroscopic knee surgery to start for the Panthers on Sunday against the Eagles, as expected. Davis rushed for 66 yards on 15 carries, but the Panthers fell so far behind that he didn't get much work in the second half. |
| October 16, 2004 Stephen Davis practiced for the third straight day on Friday, according to the Charlotte Observer. There has been no formal decision about whether he will return from his knee surgery this week. "Man, I really won't know anything until Sunday, to be honest with you," he said on Thursday. |
| October 15, 2004 The Panthers still list Stephen Davis as questionable for Sunday's game, even though he has practiced the last two days, according to the Charlotte Observer. He's recovering from knee surgery. |
| October 11, 2004 The Panthers were cautious and held Stephen Davis out of yesterday's game, according to the Charlotte Observer. "Both yesterday and today, he wasn't 100 percent cutting off that knee," coach John Fox said Sunday. "We wanted to err on the side of caution in not pushing him and causing any further injury." |

| September 27, 2004 Stephen Davis did not practice on Monday and Panthers head coach John Fox said it was "wait and see" as to whether Davis would practice Wednesday, according to the team's website. Davis is recovering from knee surgery. |

| January 15, 2004 The Sports Network reports that Stephen Davis didn't practice again today and while he continues to be listed as questionable for Sunday' game, coach John Fox is optimistic he'll be able to play.
