The Panthers' tentative plan for Sunday's game against the Bucs is to sit Newton (ribs) out, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on Sunday's pregame television show. Newton will go out on the field for warmups before the game (which begins at 4:25 ET), but the lean for now is to keep him out to avoid making the injury a 3-to-4 week injury.
