Salley Misses Practice; Delhomme Gets Day Off

Carolina Panthers safety Nate Salley missed practice Monday because of a sore knee that caused him to miss a portion of training camp.  The Panthers are already thin in the secondary, and that unit turned in a subpar effort in last Friday’s 24-7 loss to New England.  Quarterback Jake Delhomme was at practice but was given the day off from team drills.  Delhomme threw a 48-yard touchdown pass in the loss to New England last Saturday.  He and most of the starters are expected to see limited playing time in Thursday’s exhibition finale with Pittsburgh.
