CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers have found an offensive lineman willing to join the team. The Panthers signed Tim Duckworth on Monday, less than a week after he was waived by New Orleans. The 6-foot-4, 318-pound guard gives the Panthers a maximum 80 players a day before they must trim to 75. Carolina has had a roster opening since offensive lineman Kirk Barton failed to report last week after he was claimed off waivers from Denver. The Panthers had already waived tackle Jason Capizzi to make |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers have become a team of extremes. The defense, with numerous questions after an offseason roster overhaul, has been stellar. Who needs Julius Peppers? The Panthers have a whopping 18 sacks in three preseason games and have nearly completely shut down the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans the last two weeks. The offense, meanwhile, has been downright unwatchable. Bring back Jake Delhomme? The Panthers still haven't scored an offensive touchdown and appear further |

| (Sportsbooks) - It's hard to view the Carolina Panthers as anything but a team in limbo, and it's difficult to see 2010 as anything but a way station that precedes the organization's real future. Start with the head coach, John Fox, who is in the final year of his contract and looks less than 50-50 to return in 2011, whether he wins this year or not. Though Fox is well-respected both inside and outside the organization, and has experienced periods of success, there is a growing sense that a change of scenery |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Carolina Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross remembers facing base defenses almost exclusively in preseason games early in his eight-year NFL career. Slowly, as defenses have become more complex and blitz-happy, that's changed. And it hasn't worked out so well for several teams, including Carolina. Facing constant pressure from all angles, the Panthers have yet to score an offensive touchdown and have allowed 11 sacks entering Saturday's third preseason game against Tennessee at Bank |

The 25-year-old Barton is a former seventh-round pick by Chicago out of Ohio State. He's bounced around the league with several teams and played in one NFL game th |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Carolina Panthers backup quarterback Jimmy Clausen returned to practice Tuesday after missing a day with a sore right big toe, an ailment the former Notre Dame star expects to linger throughout his rookie season. Clausen underwent surgery in January to replace two torn tendons after being injured early last season against Michigan State. Clausen said Tuesday the toe ``feels good some days and sore other days'' and it's especially painful after games. He played the entire second half |
