Despite their disappointing season, the Panthers will not fire head coach John Fox or his staff, according to reports. Carolina general manager Marty Hurney is safe as well. The Panthers have offered Fox, his staff and Hurney the chance to return for 2010, a day after a 41-9 victory over the Giants.

Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith broke his left arm in Sunday's win over the Giants. Carolina coach John Fox said that Smith broke his radius and will have surgery on Monday. He appeared to suffer the injury after catching a 27-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter.

Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams may miss Sunday's game against the Giants. Williams is doubtful for the game with a sprained left ankle. He has missed three straight practices. He has 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns in 2009.

The Panthers have placed quarterback Jake Delhomme on the injured reserve with an injured finger, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Delhomme, who has missed Carolina's last three games, struggled to throw the ball in practice this week.

A number of Panthers said following the team's loss to the Patriots on Sunday that wide receiver Randy Moss quit on his team. Moss had one reception for 16 yards in New England's victory. He also fumbled the football and watched as a pass intended for him was intercepted. "We knew he was going to shut it down," Panthers cornerback Chris Gamble said. "That's what we wanted to do him. That's what we did. ... He'd just give up a lot ... Slow down, he's not going deep, not trying to run a route. You can tell, his body language." "You get physical with him, and I don't want to say he quits, but he kind of doesn't run the routes the way they're supposed to be run," safety Chris Harris said. "If you get a jam on him, he'll just ease up. He had the one catch, and he fumbled. ... We stayed on top of him. We were not gonna let him catch a deep pass. That's his game. If he can't get it going, he gets out of sync."

Panthers quarterback Matt Moore will start for the team on Sunday against the Patriots. Jake Delhomme will miss his second straight game with a broken right finger. Carolina coach John Fox says that it's too difficult for Delhomme to grip the football. Moore went 14-for-20 with 161 yards and an interception last week against the Buccaneers.
