Panthers likely to start Carr on Sunday; Delhomme nursing elbow injury

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- David Carr appears likely to make his second successive start at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers after Jake Delhomme missed practice again Thursday.

While coach John Fox would not identify a starter for the Sunday game at New Orleans, Delhomme hasn't thrown a football since straining his right elbow on Sept. 23 against Atlanta.

Carr completed 19 of 41 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Carolina's 20-7 loss to Tampa Bay on Sept. 30.

Linebackers Dan Morgan and Adam Seward also missed practice Thursday. Morgan has a partially torn Achilles' tendon, while Seward has missed the past two games with a calf injury.

Running back DeShaun Foster returned to practice Thursday after missing the Wednesday workout because of a coach's decision.
