Cam Newton to make preseason debut Thursday

Cam Newton tie

Newton will appear in the team’s third preseason game against the New England Patriots on Thursday, according to head coach Ron Rivera.

This is more notable than a lot of preseason debuts for veteran players. Newton underwent arthroscopic surgery on his ailing throwing shoulder during the offseason.
