CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Panthers have signed former St. Louis Rams starting safety Quintin Mikell and placed backup safety Haruki Nakamura on injured reserve with a concussion. The deal was announced Monday. Contract terms were not released. Mikell, a 10-year NFL veteran, will compete for the starting spot with strong safety Mike Mitchell, who was held out of practice Monday with an unspecified injury. The 5-foot-10, 205-pound Mikell started all 32 games the last two seasons with the Rams and had 214 tackles, four sacks, two interceptions and forced nine fumbles. Mikell went to the Pro Bowl in 2009. The 32-year-old Mikell previously played for Panthers coach Ron Rivera when Rivera was an assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2003. Mikell has played in 155 career games with 91 starts. Nat Moore Jersey . - The Baltimore Ravens and tight end Dennis Pitta reached agreement on a five-year contract Friday.

The pair will go head to head in Saturdays 12.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports 1HD from 11.30am, with Arsenal looking to climb top of the Premier League and add to Jose Mourinhos troubled start to life at Old Trafford.However, the hosts are marginal favourites with Sky Bet as Mourinho looks to extend his unbeaten record against Arsene Wenger, but Le Tiss believes the Gunners boast a superior squad. In fact, two of his five United picks are unavailable for the clash, with Eric Bailly sidelined with a knee injury while Zlatan Ibrahimovic serves a one-match ban.Heres his best line-up from both squads if all were fit and available... GOALKEEPERIts close one to start with and Petr Cech is obviously a very good goalkeeper as well but I have to go with David de Gea. He has youth on his side and three excellent seasons behind him.DEFENDERSIve gone with the two Arsenal full-backs, Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal. Bellerin is up there with the best right-backs in the league and I think theyll really miss him, while Monreal has been pretty consistent. Hector Bellerin has been ruled out for four weeks with an ankle injury United have had to play Antonio Valencia, who has done a decent job but is not a natural right-back. If Luke Shaw was fit and playing on a regular basis hed be in there. Even two years ago it would have been no contest against Monreal, but obviously its been a tough 18 months for him.At centre-back my first pick in Laurent Koscielny. Hes almost like an old school centre-back. I like him a lot and he has been very consistent this season.Then Im going for Eric Bailly. I think hell turn into a very good centre-back. Hes obviously injured at the moment but I think hell be a very good signing for them in the long term. Charlie predicts Find out what Charlie Nicholas is tipping up at 25/1 for Man Utd v Arsenal. MIDFIELDERSMy holding midfielders would be Paul Pogba and Santi Cazorla. I think Pogba can play in either the holding or number 10 role but jjust needs time and the expectation to calm down.dddddddddddd.As for Cazorla, I think hes an underrated player and has adapted well to the position. He rarely gives the ball away and great with two feet.On the left of my attacking midfielders would be Mesut Ozil. It would be very difficult to leave him out of any team. Hes such a brilliant creative player with great vision and a fantastic passer of the ball. Alexis Sanchez is set to be assessed after international action Then on the right Ive got the Duracell bunny Alexis Sanchez. Hes got incredible energy to go with incredible talent and is just a fantastic example to the team with his work rate.In the middle Ive gone for a player Ive always had a soft spot for, Juan Mata. Hes got lot of talent but not so much pace, which perhaps reminds me of someone! Hes a bit underrated because of that lack of speed but Ive always had a lot of time for him. Six months half price Upgrade to Sky Sports to watch Man Utd v Arsenal on Saturday and get the first six months half price STRIKERIm going with Zlatan Ibrahimovic over Olivier Giroud and Wayne Rooney, who I still think can play there. Marcus Rashford was probably closest to getting in and I think he may well lead the line on Saturday after what he did to Arsenal last time, but I still think United will miss Ibrahimovics presence up front.FANTASY SIX-A-SIDETheres £5,000 up for grabs in Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side for the highest-scoring team from Manchester United v Arsenal.
