Panthers WR Steve Smith Breaks Arm, Will Miss Final Week

This marks the end of a disappointing year for Smith, who failed to break the 1000-yard mark for the first time since his injury-shortened 2004 season. To be fair, his struggles were more a reflection of quarterback Jake Delhomme’s inability to throw the ball to the right team than anything else. Smith had actually come on the past few weeks with former backup Matt Moore in the lineup, showing off the big-play ability that has made him one of the toughest covers in the NFL over the past five years.
