CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A judge extended to one year a temporary protective order for the wife of Carolina Panthers - and former Georgia Bulldog - offensive lineman Chris Terry after she testified that he threatened her and pushed her into a wall. <br>
<br>
Mecklenburg County Judge Louis A. Trosch also ordered Terry to pay NyQuell Jackson-Terry $10,000 a month in support once the NFL season begins. Until the team is done with preseason training camp, he must pay her $500 a week. <br>
<br>
The order requires Terry to stay out of the couple's home and away from their children's school and day-care. It also prohibits Terry from possessing or buying a handgun. <br>
<br>
Terry, who was charged with assaulting his wife during a July 24 altercation at their home, denied hitting his wife during Thursday's hearing. <br>
<br>
In July, Jackson-Terry was granted a temporary restraining order. In documents filed for that order, Jackson-Terry said her husband also has head-butted her, causing a lump on her forehead, and pushed her face into a pillow while their children watched. <br>
<br>
The couple have a daughter Nayah, 3, and a son, London, 2. <br>
<br>
Terry, a second-round pick out of Georgia in 1999, has started all but one game in his three seasons with the team. The Panthers list him at 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds.
