Live from Philadelphia:

   --For the second straight year, the Panthers-Eagles preseason game has been delayed by lightning.  It could be awhile before the teams get back on the field. The press box announcer has said they expect a 45-minute delay. According to the National Weather Service two storms are merger on the Philadelphia area.

   --Fans will get their first look at rookie running back Jonathan Stewart tonight. Stewart, who was held out of the preseason opener against Indianapolis, is in uniform. DeAngelo Williams will start, but Stewart should be the first running back off the bench.

   --The starters will play into the second quarter against the Eagles.

   --In case you missed it yesterday, the following 10 players did not make the trip to Philadelphia due to injury: receivers Steve Smith, D.J. Hackett, Ryne Robinson and Dwayne Jarrett, tight ends Dante Rosario and Gary Barnidge, defensive tackle Ian Scott, safety Chris Harris and cornerbacks Chris Gamble and Ken Lucas.

   --The Panthers will be without four starters -- Smith, Gamble, Lucas and Harris.
