Summary
Two Sundays ago, Cam Newton made his dramatic return for the Carolina Panthers, and helped lead them to a win over the Arizona Cardinals. Then, this past Sunday, in his much-anticipated first game back in Carolina, Newton and the Panthers came up short against the Washington Football Team. Today, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Joe Person to look at why the Panthers made the decision to bring him back now, and the impact that his larger-than-life personality could have on the rest of the team.
