Just as the Carolina Panthers are getting their starting offensive line back together, an injury to rookie running back

So here we are again, on the verge of another season of Carolina Panthers football. Wasn't training camp a grind? Man, the players must be tired, because even I got so tired of attending all those practices and those endless preseason games.

Here's what happens this season. The Carolina Panthers return to the playoffs. The offense remembers how to run the ball and the defense remembers how to get to the quarterback.

The scar is about 4 inches in length, running along the inside of his elbow and just out of quarterback Jake Delhomme's view.

In retrospect, it's clear Muhsin Muhammad and the Carolina Panthers never should have parted ways.

Defensive end Julius Peppers was perhaps more dominating than ever this preseason.

Usually, pro athletes say they're motivated by wanting to prove certain people wrong.

Rookie right tackle Jeff Otah is the personification of the Panthers' offensive line transformation.

If the Panthers could build a bionic running back he might look something like this.

It's always important to get off to a strong start, but opening the season with one of the top teams in the NFL makes this especially challenging.

A healthy Jake Delhomme is better than most NFL starting quarterbacks. No, he's not the caliber of Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, but who is?
