The Facts: Newton (shoulder) didn't throw at Panthers practice for the third straight day. He was joined on the sidelines Thursday by tackle Matt Kalil (groin), defensive tackle Kawann Short (hamstring) and rookie runner Curtis Samuel (hamstring).

Diehards Line: In case you haven't been following along in recent weeks, Newton had the labrum in his throwing shoulder repaired in March and only recently began throwing. Some soreness and fatigue is to be expected. Just how much time off he'll need going forward remains unclear. It's definitely something worth monitoring.
