CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has missed practice because of a sore knee.

Coach John Fox said Wednesday that Williams tweaked it and will be evaluated. Williams rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to New Orleans.

Fellow running back Jonathan Stewart also sat out, but has routinely missed Wednesday workouts to rest his sore Achilles' tendon.

Defensive end Julius Peppers was limited with what Fox called a "messed up" right hand. Tight end Dante Rosario (knee) was also limited.

Fullback Brad Hoover remained sidelined with a sprained ankle, but backup Tony Fiammetta returned after missing a game with a concussion.

Receiver Muhsin Muhammad practiced after missing two games with a knee injury.

Maybe if the Panthers had a REAL quarterback they wouldn't have to rely so much on their running game and Williams would still be OK. I think Fox should go to coaching Pop Warner football.

I think Fox's days are numbered along with Jeff Davidson and Jake Delhomme, at least I hope so before Steve smith has a nervous breakdown... Jerry, you listening?? Cowher, where you at man!!!
