CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Panthers coach Ron Rivera said quarterback Cam Newton is expected to start Sunday against the New Orleans Saints barring a setback in his recovery from a concussion.Newton participated fully in practice Friday, but remains in the leagues concussion protocol. Rivera said the leagues reigning MVP still has to meet with an independent doctor before being cleared to play.Rivera also said running back Jonathan Stewart is expected to return to action after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury.However, Carolina has other injury concerns, most notably in the secondary where it will be without both starting cornerbacks when facing Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who has thrown 27 touchdown passes in his last seven games at the Superdome.James Bradberry (toe) and Robert McClain (hamstring) have been ruled out, along with offensive tackle Michael Oher (concussion) and defensive tackles Vernon Butler (ankle) and Paul Soliai (foot).The Panthers are expected to start either Teddy Williams or rookie Zack Sanchez opposite rookie Daryl Worley at cornerback. Safety Colin Jones is expected to start at the nickel position.With only three healthy cornerbacks on the roster, Rivera said the team is leaning toward signing Lou Young from the practice squad and activating him Sunday.We have to play the guys that are available to us, that is the truth of the matter, Rivera said. So well go from there.Carolinas secondary has been a problem ever since the decision to remove the franchise tag from 2015 All-Pro Josh Norman this past offseason.Carolina went into the season with Bradberry and Bene Benwikere as the starting cornerbacks. However, Benwikere was cut after Carolina allowed Atlantas Matt Ryan to throw for 503 yards and four touchdowns in a 48-33 Week 4 loss to the Falcons. Bradberry developed turf toe in that game and hasnt practiced since.That left the Panthers with McClain, a journeyman cornerback, and Worley as their starters last week against Tampa Bay. The Panthers held the Buccaneers to 17 points and only allowed one touchdown pass, but McClain came up hobbling with a hamstring injury on Wednesday.Williams, the teams fifth option at cornerback at the beginning of the season, said hes looking forward to the challenge if he gets a chance to start against Brees.Drew puts his clothes on the same way we do -- one leg at a time with his pants, and one arm at a time with his shirt, Williams said. You got out and the competitor in you that you have had inside since you were a little kid, you want to go out and compete against the best. So lining up across from him and seeing him over there makes you happy and anxious to go and get that first hit.Newton, Stewart, wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin and defensive end Charles Johnson are listed as questionable but are expected to play.Newton hasnt spoken to reporters since suffering a concussion on Oct. 2 against the Falcons, but did post a message on Instagram from the late motivational speaker Jim Rohn:Dont wish it was easier, wish you were better. Dont wish for less problems, wish for more skills, Newton said in the post.The Panthers are 1-4 and have lost three straight games.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Hydro Flask .

One of the Big 12s biggest 3-point threats, he will team up with point guard Monte Morris, the leagues preseason player of the year, to form what should be one of the nations top backcourts.Iowa State, which reached the Sweet Sixteen in 2015-16, opens its season against Savannah State on Nov. 11.Hes healthy as hes ever been. His work ethic is unbelievable, coach Steve Prohm said of Mitrou-Long. His maturity level is off the charts, and his leadership ability is as good as anyone Ive ever been around.Mitrou-Long had dealt with persistent discomfort as a junior, but he started all but one game and averaged 10.1 points with a team-high 77 3-pointers.In the spring of 2015, Mitrou-Long has surgery to repair torn labrums in both hips. He was expected to be fully healthy by the start of last season, and early in the season it looked like he was. Mitrou-Long scored in double figures in six of those eight games, including a 24-point outburst against Chattanooga that included six 3s.But the pain wouldnt go away.Concerned that the issue would plague him all season -- and aware that highly-touted transfer Deonte Burton was set to become eligible around the same time Mitrou-Longs window to apply for a redshirt was set to expire -- he decided to shut it down.It was extremely tough just to sit there and not help the team. Ultimately, I want to win, Mitrou-Long said. Plain and simple,, it sucked.dddddddddddd But ultimately, if I would have kept playing, I dont know if I could have helped the guys like they needed me to. I just wasnt feeling right.At the time, it seemed as though Iowa State could compensate for the loss of Mitrou-Long. But the Cyclones rotation was winnowed to roughly just six players by the time league play rolled around, and Mitrou-Longs leadership might have been missed as much as his production.Everyone missed him, Morris said. Hes the type of player that hed come up to me and say, `Im going to make my next three shots. Just find me.Morris, who flirted with entering the NBA draft, should be able to team with Mitrou-Long and help the Cyclones avoid a rebuilding year.Matt Thomas, who stepped into Mitrou-Longs starting role, blossomed into an all-around threat with the extra playing time. In addition to becoming one of the leagues top rebounding guards, Thomas more than doubled his previous career high with 11 points a game.Morris will likely assume more of a scoring role this season, which could open the floor for Mitrou-Long than do more than just stand in the corner looking for an open 3 like he did so often in the past.I think Im going to be able to be that guy thats just going to help everybody mesh, Mitrou-Long said. Whatever it takes to win. Take charges. Play great defense. Anything Ive got to do.Prohm hinted Wednesday that Long will be asked to be more versatile on offense, including playing some at the point to free up Morris for more scoring opportunities.When I took the job you probably thought that those guys would be gone. Theyre back. Thats huge for us, said Prohm, now in his second season.---Online: www.collegebasketball.ap.orgCheap Jerseys [url=http://wwjust six players by the time league play r] ' ' '
