Panthers weigh Newton return after back injuries
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said a wait-and-see approach will determine if Cam Newton plays Sunday against the Browns after Newton missed time due to two transverse process fractures in his back from an automobile wreck last week. If unable to protect himself, Derek Anderson would start, with Anderson having led a 19 17 win over Tampa Bay. Rivera emphasized protection and workload as Newton progresses toward a potential return.
