Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton is on track to play in Thursday's preseason game. What It Means: ESPN's David Newton also notes that Rivera likes what he saw out of his signal caller in today's practice. He had previously started throwing in team drills and is looking ready for the team's third preseason game in Jacksonville. Newton is almost certain to get less reps than most starters, but this should put all Week 1 worries to rest until further notice. Our models expect Newton to produce 19.5 fantasy points in Week 1 and 312.5 points...

Cam Newton increased his workload at practice yesterday, taking part in every team drill
The Panthers’ MVP quarterback is one step closer to being ready for the 2017 season. According to Max Henson of Panthers.com, Newton took part in every drill at Panthers practice yesterday, moving him one step closer to his goal of being ready to play by the season opener at San Francisco on September 10. It was the most extensive work for Newton since the first week of training camp, before shoulder soreness limited his involvement. And late in practice, Newton uncorked a deep pass, which is something the Panthers have mostly held in check following his offseason shoulder surgery. -Max...

Panthers' Cam Newton (shoulder) out for Saturday's preseason game
