CHARLOTTE – Is head coach Ron Rivera relieved after learning the extent of Cam Newton's foot injury?
Yeah, you could say that.
“Very much so,” Rivera said after the Panthers practiced Saturday. “Are you kidding? It’s your starting quarterback.”

CHARLOTTE -- You never want to see your starting quarterback leave the locker room in a walking boot, but general manager Marty Hurney and the Panthers are hopeful Cam Newton will be ready for the regular season opener against the Rams.

Obada alerted Burns (as you can see in the video) and occupied the guard and tackle, allowing Burns to loop behind his fellow rusher and take a direct path to Stidham. By the time the guard realized what was happening, it was too late. Down the rookie quarterback went for an 8-yard loss. New...
The first series of the game came and went quickly. McCaffrey rushed twice without much push up front before Newton completed a short pass to wide receiver DJ Moore for three yards on third-and-7.
It was another three-and-out the next time out. A four-yard pass to Olsen was followed by a sack...

Chris Hogan
A preseason revenge game! OK, so it may not have the same sizzle, but it’ll still be interesting to watch wide receiver Chris Hogan back in Foxboro against his former team.
“It’s cool to see guys that you’re friends with. I created a lot of relationships with that team,” said...
McCaffrey, who goes about his business with a quiet intensity, has taken it upon himself to step up as a leader in 2019, and that starts with making plays when the ball is in his hands -- what he does best.
“For me, it’s upholding a standard I set for myself individually,” McCaffrey said. “I...
The Panthers exercised caution with Newton, running back Christian McCaffrey, linebacker Luke Kuechly and tight end Greg Olsen during the first two weeks of the preseason, opting to hold them out against Chicago and Buffalo.

With Reid entrenched, there’s only room for one additional starter at safety. And Boston signed intent on being that guy.
“Obviously I want to be a starting safety, selfishly,” Gaulden said.
So you can understand the frustration. But it comes from a good place.
For what it’s worth, Gaulden...

The Panthers did all of their 11-on-11 work in the bubble, and Rivera was pleased with how it went.
“I thought it went pretty well,” Rivera said. “Just getting used to how tight it is (the field is 60 yards in length). We do have a 90-man roster right now, and that makes it a little tighter.”...
“I feel relaxed and comfortable out there. It’s more so ... the rush is coming and sometimes I see something that’s about to come open, but I can’t hang onto the ball that long,” Grier said. “I have to learn to take the underneath stuff, take what they give me. I’m not going to be able to sit...
“I thought the quarterbacks had good days. I thought they came and tried to make some things happen. They’re resilient,” head coach Ron Rivera said. “Kyle is as resilient and aloof to pressure as anyone I’ve ever seen in a quarterback. I thought he handled it well.
