Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera announced on Monday that Cam Newton would continue to work with team trainers and rehab this week. That means quarterback Kyle Allen will start on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The report comes via Joseph Person of The Athletic and Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Ron Rivera says Cam Newton will continue his rehab this week. Kyle Allen will start vs 49ers.
