Delhomme ready to return?

Dec 14, 2009

There appears to at least be a chance that quarterback Jake Delhomme will return to practice this week for the Carolina Panthers after missiing two games with a broken finger.

Delhomme acknowledged after yesterday's 20-10 loss at New England that it was at least a possibility. In the locker room, his right hand wasn't wrapped and his index and middle fingers didn't appear to be taped together anymore.

Asked if he'd be ready for practice Wednesday, Delhomme said "We'll see."

Coach John Fox stayed with his usual "day to day" declaration for Delhomme's status.

The Panthers are 1-1 with Matt Moore subbing for Delhomme at quarterback, but the offense continues to struggle, scoring 26 points in the past two games and 49 points in the past four games.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
