After suffering from a sprained thumb in last Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme has missed 2 consecutive days of practice. Rest is needed if Delhomme intends to keep his attendance up. Thus far he has started 59 consecutive games and coach John Fox would love to see him this Sunday against the New York Giants, who's defense is doing great this year. When asked about the treatment he was receiving for his injury, Delhomme described it as being a guinea pig. Ice is being applied regularly and the several different machines in the training room are being used liberally. "Whatever they want to do, if we can get it to work, then we will get it to work." he was quoted as saying.
Chris Weinke is ready to step up if Jake cannot make Sunday's game against the Giants stating "I have been in this offense for 5 years now. I know what I need to do with the football and I will be excited if the opportunity arises." Starting is not about preparing for the other team though, as they are preparing for you.
