JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Carolina Panthers have deactivated starting right guard Jeremy Bridges for today's game against Jacksonville because of an abscessed tooth.

   Geoff Hangartner will start in his place.

   Also inative for the Panthers receiver Dwayne Jarrett, tackle Frank Omiyale, defensive end Charles Johnson, defensive tackle Gary Gibson, safety C.J. Wilson and linebacker James Anderson.

   Oh, and David Carr is the third quarterback, which shoots a hole in John Fox's theory that he didn't want to "expose him" to playing at home now that the Panthers are on the road.

   When asked about the decision to demote Carr to the No. 3 quarterback, Fox said Monday, "I don't know if I wanted to expose him here at home. Definitely yesterday and we'll kind of weight that as we move forward. Antyime you don't have success it has an affect on you mentally. I still have confidence in David Carr."
