Panthers' Cam Newton: Expects to emerge from concussion protocol

Newton is expected to receive clearance from the concussion protocol Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

With throwing and running already under his belt, there's a chance Newton bumps up to the final level of the league's protocol for head injuries. In essence, approval from an independent neurologist appears to be the sole hurdle in his path to the practice field at this point. He'll have three practices to prove his health before Sunday's game in New Orleans.
