Things are going from bad to worse for Carolina: Jake Delhomme will have season-ending surgery on his elbow, and David Carr left Sunday's game for a while with a back injury (though the Panthers somehow still managed to beat the Saints).

Carr's status thiscoming weekend against ARI is uncertain. Carolina's only other QBs are Matt Moore (Oregon State) and Quintin Porter (Boston Coll.), both undrafted. The Panthers may also try to bring in outside help. Maybe Drew Bledsoe will un-retire. Maybe Dan Marino will. Maybe they'll grab the first guy to walk by the Panthers practice facility (it could be you, Mr. Bledsoe!). In this season of walking wounded, anything is possible. So if you're a Carr owner, just make sure he'll be playing before you start him.

On the positive side of injury news for a change, apparantly Alex Smith of the 49ers will not need surgery on his separated shoulder. He is aiming to come back in 2 weeks against the Giants (the Niners are on bye this week). That's not confirmed yet, but he should be back this season.

There's sure to be more enthralling injury discussion on this week's show!

FOX 31 News in Colorado is reporting that Broncos RB Travis Henry has tested positive for marijuana and could be suspended for one year per the league's substance abuse policy.  Henry was due to rotate out of the program following Week 3, but this positive test apparently happened before then.

Henry is filing suit against the NFL to throw out the test because of procedural issues, but should that fail, Henry could be suspended immediately afterward.  If you own Henry, you need to grab Selvin Young or any other startable running back ASAP.  Henry's suspension could come down at any time, at which point you'll need to have Plan B in place.  As the undisputed starter, Young has quite a bit of potential and could very well be an every-week starter. 

Scott and Steve go over all the important injuries (oh and are there injuries!) and other player transactions to get you ready for week 5. We discuss whether you should hold on to Sammy Morris, and if you should pick up Earnest Graham. Plus, we answer listener e-mails.
