Quarterback Vinny Testaverde missed practice on Wednesday, and because of that it appears likely that David Carr will get the start Sunday when the Panthers play at Tennessee Sunday. The 43-year-old Testaverde has a right Achilles injury that he hurt even more Sunday in the teams 31-7 loss to the Colts at home. Carr wrapped [...]
The Panthers have signed cornerback Patrick Dendy and placed Curtis Deloatch on injured reserve. Dendy appeared in 16 games over two seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He was released by the Panthers prior to the start of the season. The 25-year-old Dendy was an undrafted free agent out of Rice. Deloatch suffered a torn ACL [...]
Despite their struggles at home this season, the Panthers cling to first place in the NFC South. The Panthers are 0-and-3 at Bank of America Stadium but lead the division with a 4-and-3 overall record. That’s good for a half-game lead over Tampa Bay. New Orleans has won three straight games and is now one game [...]
Panthers star wide receiver Steve Smith was largely a forgotten man during Sunday’s 31-7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Smith had only two receptions for 18 yards against the Colts, with both catches coming in the first quarter. He had a season-high 10 catches in the Panthers last game against Arizona two weeks ago. This [...]
The Panthers quarterback situation is more unsettled than ever because of injuries. Vinny Testaverde is day-to-day with a strained Achilles tendon, according to coach John Fox.

The Panthers have lost defensive back Curtis Deloatch for the season. Deloatch suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Sunday’s loss to Indianapolis.

The Panthers have placed running back Nick Goings on injured reserve and have signed linebacker Donte Curry. Curry, a seven-year NFL veteran, was released by Detroit on October 16th. Goings sustained a concussion against Tampa Bay and had been sidelined for the team’s past two games.

Fox refused to say Carr would start, opening the possibility that Carr and backup quarterback Vinny Testaverde would split [...]
