quarterback expects to play Sunday against Los Angeles Chargers after he was limited in practice Wednesday because of an abdominal injury.
"I will be," Newton said when asked if he was ready to play this weekend, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. "I'm feeling as good as I should be feeling. You just have to stay on top of things, see what the trainers say. Just keep getting treatment."
Per Reiss, Newton fielded another question about the origins of his injury, to which he replied "it's football."
