The New Orleans Saints announced Saturday that veteran defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy has been placed on injured reserve. 2008 fifth-round pick DeMario Pressley was signed from the practice squad.
Clancy was a reserve this season, playing in only two games because of a knee problem. With both defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis and linebacker Scott Fujita out for a second straight week, New Orleans' rush defense will be tested again Sunday against the Panthers.
Michael Turner had his best game of the season against New Orleans Monday night, so DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart could present major problems for the Saints. Despite the point spread, it wouldn't be that shocking if John Fox kept his Louisiana streak going, would it?

GO PANTHERS! :)
It woudlnt be shocking to me.
Im in a fantasy league online where you pick the winners of each game against the spread. I picked the Panthers as my upset team of the week.
Like you said the Saints have lost key defensive figures in the running and intermediate passing game. I think that fits right into the Panthers game plan. They have 2 very good running backs who can beat up the Saints D. Also the Panthers are gonna have Delhomme on a short leash so I expect him to do the safe thing and throw shot low risk passes. I think they can be successful at that and squeck out a win.
The Panthers are alot better now then they were in their 1st 4 weeks. I have a feeling they are gonna turn some heads and put some pressure on whatever team gets into that final wildcard spot in the NFC.
Route36west: delusional Panthers fan.
great, maybe the panthers can win a game by running it 40 times. more likely delhomme loses it for them though
DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart could be shut down this week.
