Vinny vs the Falcons

Vinny will get another shot Sunday, as Panthers coach John Fox announced today that Vinny Testaverde will be his starter Sunday when the Panthers travel to Green Bay to take on the very tough Packers.  Vinny gets the nod over David Carr, who despite being healthy for the first time in awhile will serve as the backup for the contest.  “He had a good week of practice and was able to get through the week, and I think that’s good for him and good for us,” Fox said Friday of Vinny.  As for wide out Steve Smith, he’s still questionable for the contest with a shin contusion.  He missed his third straight practice on Friday.
