The Carolina Panthers may have use an inexperienced, fumble-prone duo returning punts in the season opener.
Attempts to bring back last year's return man, Mark Jones, were derailed Monday when he failed a physical. Jones was cut by Tennessee last week after being slowed by a hamstring injury in the preseason.
The Panthers were looking for an upgrade after Kenny Moore and Captain Munnerlyn struggled fielding punts in exhibition games. Munnerlyn is a rookie, while Moore is a second-year pro who has never appeared in a regular-season game.
Rookie Mike Goodson is expected to return kickoffs Sunday against Philadelphia.
The Panthers released their return man from 2007, Ryne Robinson, last week.
