Strong chance Cam Newton will start next week, and Ron Rivera will be ready

Cam Newton is back with the Panthers. Next week, he’ll be back in Carolina. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, there’s a strong chance Cam will be starting next week in his return to Bank of America Stadium.

Coincidentally, Week 11 features a visit by the Washington Football Team. Which is coached by Ron Rivera. Who coached Newton for nine years in Carolina.

After Sunday’s 29-19 win over the Buccaneers, I asked Rivera whether he has kept a file of plays to use whenever he has to defend against Newton.

“Yes actually I do, to be honest with you,” Rivera said.

Suddenly, that game has gotten a lot more interesting.
