Panthers coach Ron Rivera admits Cam Newton’s shoulder isn’t all his QB needs repaired

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will undergo surgery on Thursday to repair his throwing shoulder.

There’s nothing scheduled to fix Newton’s confidence, but that will have to addressed this offseason as well.

After a Week 17 loss at Tampa Bay, Newton said he needed a sabbatical following his worst NFL season – one that started with a battering by the Denver Broncos and ended with him playing three games with a partially torn rotator cuff.

“He’s going to have to rebuild his confidence. It was shook. Let’s be honest, I’m not going to lie about that,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday at the owners meetings.
