The Carolina Panthers may go through the preseason without quarterback Cam Newton playing in a game.
Per ESPN.com's David Newton, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said Friday he would "OK" if Newton missed all four preseason games while continuing to rehab his shoulder.
"We're going to do exactly what the trainers and doctors allow us to do," Rivera said.
The Panthers announced in March that Newton underwent surgery to repair a partially torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He originally suffered the injury during a Week 14 win against the San Diego Chargers last season but played the final three games.
