CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Soon-to-be 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde has moved back into the lead in the pothole-filled race to be the Carolina Panthers‘ starting quarterback.
Testaverde returned to practice Wednesday after missing the Panthers’ loss to Tennessee with a sore right Achilles’ tendon. David Carr watched practice from the sideline, yet to be cleared after sustaining a concussion against the Titans.
The Panthers lost original starter Jake Delhomme to a season-ending right elbow injury in Week 3. Projected third-stringer Brett Basanez suffered a season-ending wrist injury late in the preseason.
Carr did some conditioning drills on the side Wednesday and had yet to take the mandatory cognitive baseline test required before any concussed player can return.
