Delhomme Sits Out Panthers' Practice Because of Ailing Thumb

Quarterback Jake Delhomme missed the Carolina Panthers' practice today because of a sprained right thumb.

The right-handed quarterback was hurt early in Monday night's loss at Philadelphia but finished the game, throwing three touchdown passes but also two crucial late interceptions. He has thrown at least one interception in seven straight games.

Chris Weinke worked with the Panthers' starting offense during today's practice and would start Sunday's game against the New York Giants if Delhomme is unable to play. Both teams are 6-6, tying them with the Eagles and Atlanta Falcons for the lead in the race for the two NFC wild-card playoff berths.

Tailback DeShaun Foster participated in the Panthers' practice today after missing two games because of a sprained elbow.
