Charlotte Observer: Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme suffered a
cut on his right (throwing) elbow during the first half of
Sunday's 45-28 loss to Atlanta, but he doesn't expect it to slow
him this week. Delhomme said Monday he believes the cut happened
when his elbow was hit by the facemask of a Falcons defender.
Initially, he said the injury felt like a bruise. However, he was
bleeding and doctors used a stitch to close the cut at halftime.
Delhomme had reconstructive surgery on the elbow during the
offseason to repair ligament damage. Delhomme said he could play
immediately if necessary, and flexed his right arm several times
quickly to show reporters he's not hindered by the injury.
