The Carolina Panthers will have their franchise quarterback in the lineup as they try to rebound from a miserable 1-4 start.
Cam Newton is active and will start on Sunday as the defending NFC Champions visit New Orleans. Newton missed last week with a concussion and watched from the sideline as the Panthers fell at home to Tampa Bay last Monday night. Newton is 6-4 as a starter against New Orleans with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions.
In other early games on Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens will be minus several veterans against the New York Giants as they try to rebound from a loss to Washington.
