The Carolina Panthers could be forced to choose between quarterbacks Cam Newton and Kyle Allen sooner rather than later.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that Newton, who has been out since re-aggravating a Lisfranc injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2, "is expected to be ready to practice after the team's bye this week" because his foot has "healed well."
"Panthers have said they will make a QB determination when Newton is healthy," Schefter added. "That looks to be coming soon."
Newton originally suffered the foot injury in Week 3 of the preseason.
