The Panthers got some good news on Thursday, as quarterback Cam Newton returned to full practice and looks like he’s going to be 100 percent for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.
Newton was limited Wednesday (not throwing during the portion of practice open to reporters), and he told reporters his shoulder “feels great.”
But it’s clear they’re going to be managing him throughout the season. If the Panthers need a Hail Mary this week and he actually throws it, we’ll know he’s back to 100 percent.
Wide receiver Torrey Smith was the only player who didn’t practice, making it appear he’s going to miss a second game in a row.
