NFL notes: Muhammad and Godfrey out for Panthers on Sunday

The Carolina Panthers will be without starting receiver Muhsin Muhammad and free safety Charles Godfrey for Sunday's game at Arizona.

Reserve tight end Dante Rosario was also ruled out Friday.

Muhammad missed practice this week because of a sprained knee and will likely be replaced by Dwayne Jarrett. Rookie Sherrod Martin could start for Godfrey, who was wearing a cast and on crutches after injuring his right ankle in last Sunday's loss to Buffalo. Rosario has a knee injury.

Linebackers Thomas Davis (hamstring) and Landon Johnson (shoulder), running back Jonathan Stewart (Achilles' tendon), fullback Brad Hoover (back) and kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd (ankle) were listed as questionable. They all practiced this week.

FINES: Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams was fined $5,000 for an illegal chop block in last Sunday's loss to Buffalo when he was late picking up a blitz.

Arizona safety Antrel Rolle was fined $7,500 on Friday by the NFL for his hit on Giants tight end Kevin Boss in last Sunday night's Arizona victory.

SUNDAY SELL-OUT: Arizona's game against the Panthers has sold out. After the NFL gave the defending NFC champions a 24-hour extension on the television blackout deadline, the Cardinals announced the sellout Friday.

The Cardinals said they had just under 1,000 tickets remaining Thursday and the NFL extended the deadline to 2:15 p.m. MST Friday.

Arizona has now sold out all 38 games at University of Phoenix Stadium, which opened in 2006.

However, this was the third time this season that Arizona needed a 24-hour blackout deadline extension from the league.
