Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will miss his second straight start next week with a foot injury.
“What Cam needs right now is time and rest for his foot. We want him at 100 percent when he’s ready, so there’s no exact timetable for his return,” head coach Ron Rivera said in a statement. “At this point, we’re going to go forward with Kyle (Allen) as our starter.”
Kyle Allen will start in Newton's place against the Houston Texans. Allen threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.
