JARRETT IN CAR CRASH

Adam Caplan of Scout.com reports that Panthers rookie receiver Dwayne Jarrett has been involved in a car accident.

The wreck occurred on Wednesday evening. Caplan says that it's believed Jarrett didn't suffer any serious injuries, it's not known yet whether he's had a medical evaluation.

Jarrett was a second-round pick of the Panthers in the 2007 draft. Because he has not signed a contract, any injuries that might affect his ability to play could limit the terms of his rookie contract. For example, his signing bonus could be converted in whole or in part to a 2007 per-game roster bonus.

Not long after the draft, the Panthers severed tied with receiver Keyshawn Johnson. Jarrett is expected to compete with Drew Carter for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Steve Smith.

JARRETT IS "FINE"

Pat Yasinskas of the Charlotte Observer reports that Panthers receiver Dwayne Jarrett does not have any serious injuries as a result of a Wednesday night car crash.

"Dwayne is fine,’’ G.M. Marty Hurney said. "I just heard about it a little bit ago and don’t have all the details yet. But he's fine."

Jarrett is a second-round draft pick who will be competing for the starting spot vacated by the release of Keyshawn Johnson.

Obviously this isn't enough information to know if he's at fault at all, but if it were me I'd be sure to be as careful as humanly possible until I had a contract.

I would stay in the film room...
