Panthers' Williams returns; Delhomme out

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has returned to practice after missing a game with an ankle injury.

Quarterback Jake Delhomme remained sidelined Wednesday, meaning Matt Moore is expected to make his second straight start at New England.

Williams sat out Sunday's win over Tampa Bay and backup Jonathan Stewart rushed for 120 yards. Stewart missed practice Wednesday, but that has become routine so he can rest his sore left Achilles' tendon.

Delhomme hasn't practiced or played since breaking a finger on his throwing hand on Nov. 29.

Defensive end Tyler Brayton didn't practice, and the team said he sustained a concussion against the Buccaneers.

Linebacker Na'il Diggs (ribs) and receiver Muhsin Muhammad (knee) also sat out.
