CHARLOTTE -- The Carolina Panthers on Saturday added quarterback Vinny Testaverde to their injury report as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans with tightness in his back.
According to team spokesman Charlie Dayton, Testaverde's back tightened up after Friday's practice.
The Panthers did not practice Saturday.
Dayton said coach John Fox will make a game-time decision on Testaverde's status.
If Testaverde, 44, doesn't play, it's expected David Carr would start against the Saints. Carr's only win as a starter this season came in Week 5 against New Orleans.
The Panthers also have Matt Moore on the roster, but he is considered their third-string quarterback.
Fox named Testaverde the starter on Wednesday, saying he wanted to have some stability at the quarterback situation.
Also, safety Chris Harris was added to the injury report as probable with an illness.
