On how running back Jonathan Stewart and Jon Beason looked:
They both looked really good. They were good to finally have back. That was the plan, and I thought they had a good day's work.
On Stewart being held out of practice for a month:
We just didn't want it to be a month during the regular season. The good news is it was a month during the preseason. That was the plan, and if we had our druthers that is the way we'd prefer it.
On if rest was the best treatment for Stewart's injury:
Yeah. That was what our medical people said and that was the approach we took. I thought they handled it right, and he was out practicing today.
On what kind of shape Stewart is in: Any time you have an injury there are all kinds of ways to condition. He's been conditioning. Conditioning really wasn't a factor.
