Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera plans to give WR Steve Smith more rest during the regular season in order to keep him healthy. 'I think we have to be smart with Steve, make sure we put him in position to take advantage of his abilities and maximize his time and not waste his time or reps. So he's getting quality reps and quality plays,' Rivera said.

Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith said he is happy that the team named Mike Shula the new offensive coordinator because it will allow the offense to continue to move forward. 'You always want to hire a guy that doesn't set you back or changes up. And how a guy sets you back is all of a sudden you have to change up everything,' Smith said. 'I think that is a vital role. That's important to keep in perspective, and I think that's what we did.'
