Cam Newton will throw to receivers before camp

Jul 11, 2014

Cam Newton participated in 7-on-7 drills during the team's June workouts, a month earlier than expected coming off March ankle surgery.

Still, with a completely new receiving corps, the lack of chemistry building this offseason has made the transition more difficult, Panthers wideout Tiquan Underwood told USA Today's Tom Pelissero Thursday.

However, as training camp approaches, the quarterbacks and receivers plan to meet in an attempt to compensate for lost time.

Fantasy Impact:

With an entirely new receiving corps, chemistry with his receivers is one of the concerns we have with Newton heading into training camp. It sounds as if the ankle injury is behind him, so if he can quickly build a rapport with Jerricho Cotchery and Kelvin Benjamin, the passing game shouldn't see a major downgrade in 2014.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
