Cam Newton (foot) will not play Sunday

Panthers QB Cam Newton will not play Sunday against the Cardinals because of a foot injury. Kyle Allen will get the start.

This was the expected news after Newton did not practice Wednesday and Thursday. Kyle Allen will get the start against the Cardinals and it is certainly a downgrade across the board, save for Christian McCaffrey. Expect him to continue to get a healthy does, if not more than he already has this season. Allen played in two regular season games last season, including a Week 17 win against the Saints, though most of the Saints’ backups played in that game.
