Cam Newton to take Panthers first-team reps Week 11
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will take most of the team's first-team practice reps for Week 11 against the Washington Football Team, per head coach Matt Rhule.
Newton ran in a touchdown and threw another on Sunday while playing limited snaps in his first game back with the Panthers. P.J. Walker will return to backup duties for the rest of the season after filling in as the starter in Week 10. Newton should be an upgrade for the offense over Sam Darnold as a whole, but he may replace Christian McCaffrey as Carolina's primary ball-carrier in the red zone.
The Panthers are playing a Washington pass defense in Week 11 that is second-worst in numberFire's power rankings. The Football Team has allowed the seventh-most yards per pass attempt (7.5) and eighth-best completion rate (67.3%) in the league this season.
