CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme
practiced again Friday, all but assuring he'll start in the
Panthers' final regular-season game against New Orleans. |

Wearing a glove to protect his injured right thumb, Delhomme
went through a full workout without difficulty at the team's
practice facility. Delhomme suffered ligament damage when he banged his thumb
against a Philadelphia player's helmet while throwing a touchdown
pass in a loss to the Eagles on Dec. 4. Delhomme missed three games
before returning to practice Wednesday. Delhomme was upgraded from questionable to probable on the
injury report after practice Thursday. The Panthers are hopeful
he'll be at full strength for Sunday's game, a must-win to keep
their slim playoff chances alive. Receiver Drew Carter (ankle) and linebacker Thomas Davis
(shoulder) missed practice for a third straight day and remain
questionable.
