CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Steve Smith remains questionable for the Carolina Panthers game at Minnesota. The league's top receiver last season missed practice again today.<br>
<br>
Smith has been out since straining his right hamstring during the club's September fifth practice. Without him in the lineup, the Panthers failed to score a touchdown in their 20-to-6 season-opening loss to Atlanta.<br>
<br>
The Panthers also practiced again without center Justin Hartwig, whose groin injury leaves him questionable for Sunday's game. Hartwig was injured in the fourth quarter against the Falcons. Neither he nor Smith has practiced this week.<br>
