CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- One bad game and loss by Kyle Allen isn't enough for the Carolina Panthers to rush quarterback Cam Newton back into the starting lineup.
Coach Ron Rivera said on Monday that Allen would start his sixth straight game on Sunday when the Panthers, 4-3 after a 51-13 loss at San Francisco, face the Tennessee Titans at Bank of America Stadium.
"We've got to make sure he's ready,'' Rivera said of Newton, who hasn't played since re-aggravating a left foot Lisfranc injury in a Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay.
