he Carolina Panthers have had the weekend to think about it and have had a change of heart. They have decided to deactivate defensive endGreg Hardy for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.
Hardy, who is in the middle of a domestic abuse case, had been allowed to practice with the team this week, even amid rumors that the team could consider cutting him on Friday. That didn't happen, and all signs pointed toward him starting this weekend, with head coach Ron Rivera saying as much in his Friday press conference.
