Reaves (calf) was active for Sunday's game versus the Packers, but did not receive an offensive touch.

Analysis:

Reaves was relegated to his usual reserve role Sunday, since starter Jonathan Stewart (knee) returned to action and commanded 14 carries. However, even once the result of Sunday's game was decided, the Panthers opted to give Chris Ogbonnaya four carries. Whether Carolina was keeping Reaves out of a lopsided game to preserve his calf is unknown, but in any event, it appears that Reaves' stint of increased fantasy relevancy may have been short-lived.
