Newton survives scare to beat Patriots

0 9

Charlotte, N.C.

Cam Newton gave the Panthers an early injury scare before returning to help Carolina defeat New England in a preseason game.

On the game's opening drive, Newton scrambled out of the pocket on third-and-9 before recklessly diving head-first — this is the preseason, after all — and landing on his head after getting upended by cornerback Jonathan Jones.

Newton was forced to leave the game to be evaluated for a concussion, but returned four plays later to a loud ovation and played the remainder of the first half.

He finished 11-for-17 for 142 yards passing and led three scoring drives — all resulting in field goals — as the Panthers built a 9-3 lead at halftime.
