Articles in negative sentences

Sentence 1: Todavía no tenemos profesor. Sentence 2: El mío ni siquiera ha llamado al embarque. In these two sentences, there is no article before nouns, "profesor" and "llamado". Does it mean there is no article before singular nouns in negative sentences in Spanish? If so, is there any other situation where we should omit the articles before noun? Thanks a lot.

Sentence 1: Todavía no tenemos profesor.
Profesions do not carry an article in Spanish, Soy profesora de idiomas.
Sentence 2: El mío ni siquiera ha llamado al embarque
Llamado is the gerundio of llamar, not a noun here.
The answer to your question is no.
