CHARLOTTE, United States (AFP) — Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme will miss the remainder of the season with a right elbow injury.
Carolina coach John Fox said Monday that Delhomme will be placed on season-ending injured reserve and undergo surgery next week.
Delhomme had been sidelined since suffering a strained elbow against Atlanta on September 23 and backup David Carr started the Panthers' last two games.
Delhomme tested his arm in practice Monday, but still experienced discomfort, prompting the decision to place him on injured list.
In his 10th National Football League season, the 32-year-old Delhomme completed 55-of-86 passes for 626 yards and eight touchdowns in Carolina's first three games.
