Ron Rivera Discusses Cam Newton’s Durability (Audio)


The Panthers’ struggles during a 6-10 season left many scratching their hands after a trip to the Super Bowl the year before. A banged up Cam Newton caused concern which head coach Ron Rivera addressed Thursday morning from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

When asked if Cam had to have anything worked on, Rivera stated that he has not required any type of surgery and rehab and instead has been working with strength & conditioning coaches in his hometown. However, Rivera would like to see a more flexible Newton return in April.

I’d like to see him more flexible, more so than anything else, especially through the shoulders. Cause that seemed to be where he had a lot of his problems. Get that shoulder strength back up, get that shoulder flexibility back up.

Cam was very vocal throughout the season with regards to the questionable hits he took and many felt that those were risks he chose to take as a running QB. Rivera stated that offensive changes to come include not “overexposing” Cam as a runner although he does expect some pushback from the athletic signal-caller.
