The Carolina Panthers should have starting defensive tackles Maake Kemoeatu and Damione Lewis back for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game against Arizona.

Kemoeatu, Lewis and right offensive tackle Jeff Otah practiced Wednesday after being sidelined by injuries late in the regular season.

"We had a little hiatus, but we got them back. That was a good reason for the bye," coach John Fox said. "We should be at full strength."

The Panthers' only injury concern is right guard Geoff Hangartner. He missed practice with a sprained left ankle and could miss Saturday's game.

RICHARDSON IN ATTENDANCE: Playing at home Saturday could allow Panthers owner Jerry Richardson to attend the game. Richardson is awaiting a heart transplant.

COWBOYS: Troubled cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones must look elsewhere in the NFL for another chance. Dallas is done with him. Jones was released by the Cowboys following a turbulent season in which he was suspended six games for an off-field scuffle and made little impact on the field.

Jones, expected to give the Cowboys a boost on defense and special teams, had no interceptions and averaged just 4.5 yards per punt return. His release will become official Feb. 9, the first day NFL teams can make waiver requests.

BROWNS: Eric Mangini is the new head coach of Cleveland, a week after being fired by the New York Jets. A person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press that Mangini will be introduced today at a news conference at the team's headquarters.

The 37-year-old Mangini agreed to a four-year deal with the club, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because contract details had yet to be completed.

CHARGES DROPPED: Two felony charges against Minnesota Vikings great and Winston-Salem native Carl Eller were dropped as part of a deal that calls for a judge to rule on two lesser charges stemming from his clash with Minneapolis police last April.

Eller waived his right to a jury, to call witnesses and to cross-examine witnesses, the Hennepin County Attorney's office said.

A judge will now decide whether Eller is guilty of one count of fourth-degree assault on a Minneapolis police officer and one count of refusal to submit to a field sobriety test. A decision is to come by Jan. 26.

As part of the agreement, prosecutors dropped the felony charge of making terroristic threats and the gross misdemeanor charge of driving while impaired. Prosecutors also reduced the charge of assault on a police officer from a felony to a gross misdemeanor.

Eller still faces another count of refusal to take an alcohol test with a prior DWI conviction.
