Smith Out For Final Camp Practice

Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith sat out the final practice of training camp due to his strained left hamstring.

Smith rode a stationary bike and did agility drills on the side of the field as the team practiced. He was injured on July 29, the first day of camp.

"It's day-to-day. It's the same it's been," coach John Fox said. "We'll evaluate it one day at a time."

Smith returned to practice last week, but sat out the 17-10 exhibition win against Jacksonville.

Fox wouldn't say if Smith, who led the NFL last season with 103 catches for 1,563 yards and 12 touchdowns, will play against Miami.

Tight end Kris Mangum also missed practice, but he did agility drills without a protective boot on his left foot. Mangum has been out since the beginning of camp with plantar fasciitis.
