The Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars will have high-profile, high-priced veterans such as Steve Beuerlein, William (Refrigerator) Perry, Chris Doleman and Gary Clark available in the expansion draft. Also thought to be on the list is Raider defensive lineman Scott Davis.

Except for AFC champion San Diego and NFC champion San Francisco, teams were required to turn over six names each for the expansion pool by Tuesday. The Chargers and 49ers will add their players after the Super Bowl.

Although the names will not be released until Thursday, a number of them became known, among them Arizona receiver Ricky Proehl and Atlanta defensive lineman Pierce Holt.

Miami Dolphin quarterback Dan Marino will not need further surgery on his Achilles’ tendon, the team announced.

“I plan to continue to work hard on my rehabilitation during the off-season, and I’m looking forward to starting training camp even stronger than I am now,” Marino said.

Dick Vermeil, the TV analyst who wanted to coach the Philadelphia Eagles, thinks former defensive coordinator Bud Carson should get the job. Vermeil, who coached the Eagles to their only Super Bowl appearance in 1981, said he was “very disappointed” he won’t be returning to the Eagles but said he wouldn’t be interested if owner Jeffrey Lurie changes his mind and tries again to recruit him. . . . Wade Phillips, fired as coach of the Denver Broncos after the regular season, was hired as defensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills. . . . The Jaguars named Lucious Selmon, a former All-America defensive lineman for Oklahoma, the team’s outside linebackers coach.
