InjuryBeat writer admits there is “some window” for Week 5 return

No word on Doug Martin. Has not practiced in last two weeks. Some window to return for Carolina, but after bye seems more likely. (Greg Auman on Twitter)

Nerdy Football Analysis: The key phrase above would be “not practiced in two weeks”. With a bye coming up next week after a visit to the Carolina on Monday night, it makes little sense to rush Martin back, especially considering the Panthers could be without Cam Newton. Expect Charles Sims to serve as the featured back one more week.
