Carolina Panthers coach John Fox takes pride in avoiding direct answers to most questions, providing little information on injuries, depth-chart issues and personnel moves. It has left the Panthers in the Michael Vick discussion - even though the team has had no discussions about bringing in the former Atlanta quarterback. "As I've said before, you always keep all options open," Fox said yesterday. "I can't say that's something that we're heavily involved in at this point. I hate ruling out really anything." The rigid philosophy has left the Panthers on the short list of teams that haven't officially ruled out signing Vick, who is attempting a comeback after completing a prison sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation.
