Panthers first round pick to miss first game
Panthers rookie Dan Morgan will miss his first career game due to a broken left tibia suffered in the loss to Green Bay. Coach Seifert estimates four to six weeks out, with Morgan noting a possible three week return. Dean Wells will start in Morgan’s place, as Huntley and Goings split carries behind him.

Mayor says Super Bowl set for New Orleans
New Orleans mayor voiced 99 percent confidence the game would stay in the city after a new NFL offer to an auto dealers group. NADA spokesman David Hyatt said the proposal would be discussed on a conference call, with terms undisclosed. The group seeks NFL coverage of multimillion-dollar costs and losses from moving its convention, which had blocked the Feb. 3 game.

Big season losses loom for several NFL teams
The Associated Press notes the Cowboys Redskins Cardinals Bills Seahawks and Lions face dire starts with lopsided scoring margins. Washington has been pummeled 112-16 in three games while Dallas 82-45 and Seattle 71-26. New England shows life as a striker, but overall, front offices and cap trouble, aging rosters, and Holmgren's rebuild mark a tough path ahead for multiple franchises.
