CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera abruptly exited his press conference on Thursday after less than 2½ minutes when questions persisted on the status of quarterback Cam Newton.
"I just asked you to ask me questions about somebody else,'' Rivera said. "I'm not going to do this anymore. I told you, I won't know anymore until tomorrow. Thank you.''
As Rivera left the media room, he added, "Golly.''
Newton did not practice for the third straight day after re-aggravating his left foot sprain in Thursday night's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that dropped the Panthers to 0-2.
