CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton officially has been ruled out for Monday night's NFC South game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a concussion.
Derek Anderson will make his third start for Carolina (1-3) since joining the team in 2011. He was 2-0 in his other two starts, both against the Buccaneers (1-3) in 2014 when Newton was injured.
"We're going to do what we do, play who we play,'' Carolina coach Ron Rivera said after Saturday's practice that was moved inside to the Charlotte Convention Center because of heavy rain and wind from Hurricane Matthew.
