Ron Rivera said again Derek Anderson will start. Talked to him about it last night. #Panthers

 

Rivera said #panthers expect to see Cam Newton tomorrow at Stadium. Said it's a week to week thing.

 

"(Cam) feels like he's letting everybody down," Rivera said of Newton's mood

 

Ron Rivera said Cam Newton was "down'' when he met with him at hospital last night. #Panthers

 

Joe Person @josephperson

Ron Rivera says Cam, more than anything, was disappointed not to be here for his teammates.

 

Rivera says "we're back to square one" with Cam in terms of dealing with pain, like the rib injury from preseason.

 

Rivera: medical staff putting together a plan for Cam's return - will defer to Doctors. Injury is more about pain tolerance

Rivera: sense of relief injuries weren't more severe - Cam very fortunate

 

Rivera: "Thank goodness this was not more serious."

Rivera : this will be a week by week thing - just like the rib injury. Don't want to expose him to further harm

 

Rivera said team will see how Cam Newton is next week. "We don't want to expose him to any further harm." Joe Webb is the backup.

 

Rivera added on injury "It doesn't look good. I'm not going to sugar coat that.'' Doesn't want to make it sound like it's simply one week.

Much respect for Rivera's approach today. He sounds like a man concerned about nothing -- not wins nor playoffs nor job -- but Cam's health.

 

“He has that smile, a way of flashing it to show things will be ok. So when he did flash that smile, I knew everything would be ok.” - RR

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts

      From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
