COUNTDOWN TO GAMETIME

This is going to be a quick summary of injuries and events leading up to kickoff because I have to leave very early today. Sorry I can't get you all the information, but make sure to check the inactives on nfl.com to get the latest updates.

As speculated earlier in the week, DeShaun Foster is healthy and will start for the Panthers. He is likely to loss more carries than ever to DeAngelo Williams.

ESPN reported that Joe Horn will mis Sunday Night's game against Dallas. FOX reported that Marques Colston will miss the game as well, however ESPN said that he might play. It looks like they will both be out. Devery Henderson is a good start in their absencse.

It was confirmed prior to the game that Jake Delhomme will be the Panther's third QB on Sunday. Chris Weinke will get the start which means Steve Smith and Keyshawn Johnson probably will not be as productive.

Chester Taylor may start, if he decides to take a painkiller before kickoff. Even if he does play, he may not finish the game, and he will surely lose carries to his backups. He's not a very good play, and his availabilty is something to watch as kickoff approaches.
