There was a large crowd on hand to Carolina’s media day – all wanting to know how quarterback Cam Newton is after yesterday’s accident. Here are the main things taken from Coach Rivera’s meeting with reporters: No, Cam Newton will not start Sunday against the Bucs. Yes, everything will be ok.
Obviously a large media contingent for Rivera. #Panthers #CamNewton pic.twitter.com/3Er9YXEp5y

Rivera said Cam Newton has a way of flashing a smile that lets you know everything will be Ok. #Panthers

Although he’s truly blessed that things weren’t worse, Cam is selflessly thinking about his teammates.
“In true Cam fashion, he was disappointed for his teammates. He feels like he is letting everybody down." http://t.co/qiGuzdJI3M #Panthers

Don’t fret Panthers’ fans, the team will be in good hands with Derek Anderson at the helm. He led to Panthers to a victory against the Bucs in week one.
Newton is expected to beging rehab soon with the medical staff putting together a schedule for him to return.
