The Carolina Panthers (4-5) aren’t out of contention just yet, and with Sam Darnold (shoulder) out for at least four weeks the Panthers are bringing a familiar face home:

Newton, of course, once carried Carolina to a Super Bowl appearance. However, 2020 wasn’t a banner season, with Newton tossing 10 picks against only eight touchdown passes. How much missed time due to Covid-19 affected him, perhaps his new time in Carolina will tell.
