CHARLOTTE, N. Tom Waddle Bears Jersey .C. -- Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said hes feeling great and "absolutely" expects to start in Carolinas home opener Sunday against the Detroit Lions. "Its great to be out there grinding with the entire team and not have any restraints," Newton said. Newton fully participated in practice and threw the ball with good velocity -- although coach Ron Rivera said the fourth-year quarterbacks timing on his passes is still a bit of a concern. Wearing a thick, protective flak jacket, Newton took the majority of reps with the first team offence as expected and didnt seem to have any problems throwing, Rivera said.. Rivera said Monday he expected Newton to start against the Lions on Sunday after missing the season opener at Tampa Bay with a rib injury -- and he didnt waffle on that decision Wednesday. "We dont expect him to have any setbacks," Rivera said. Rivera said hes more confident that Newton would be able to handle a hit to the ribs this week. Derek Anderson filled in for Newton and threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns as the Panthers defeated the Buccaneers 20-14 in Week 1. Anderson returned to working with the second team unit on Wednesday. It was the first missed start for Newton since coming into the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2011. During a press conference Wednesday Newton refused to discuss anything related to last weeks game, including the teams decision to hold him out or when he inexplicably ran on to the field during a timeout in street clothes to talk to his teammates in the huddle. "My focus is on the Lions," Newton said. "We cant dwell on the past. It was a great to get a team win but Im moving forward." Mike Singletary Jersey .

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A deflected pass that landed in DeSean Jacksons hands. Two long touchdowns to Riley Cooper, one after a defensive back slipped to leave the Eagles the receiver wide open for a score. Good things happen with Nick Foles at quarterback for the Eagles. A week after tying the NFL record by passing for seven TDs, Foles connected for three long scores and Philadelphia pulled way for a 27-13 victory Sunday over the injury-ravaged Green Bay Packers. "He has great poise," Cooper said. "Hes going to sit in the pocket and kind of dissect the defence." Philadelphias 17-point third quarter handed Green Bay its first back-to-back home losses since 2008, Aaron Rodgers first season as the starter. It was the worst home loss for the Packers since falling 38-10 to the New York Jets on Dec. 3, 2006. The Eagles improved to 5-5, with all their victories coming away from Philly. They won a test of attrition at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The undermanned Packers (5-4) played most of the day with third-string quarterback Scott Tolzien. Rodgers is out with a left collarbone injury, and backup Seneca Wallace left after the first series with a groin injury. Actually, Tolzien played well considering he was just signed off the practice squad this week. He finished 24 of 39 for 280 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. "We had a lot of tough situations today, no excuses," coach Mike McCarthy said. "I thought Scott Tolzien played as well as could be expected." Foles was better. He finished 12 for 18 for 228 yards and the three scores -- a 55-yarder to Jackson and touchdowns of 45 and 32 yards Cooper. Foles still hasnt thrown an interception this season, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame has requested a game-worn jersey and cleats that Foles wore during his record-tying, seven-TD performance against Oakland. It could be tough for Michael Vick to get his starting job back any time soon. He was inactive a second straight week with a hamstring injury. LeSean McCoy finished with 1555 yards on 25 carries, the second straight week that Green Bays run defence had allowed a 100-yard rusher. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Bears Jersey. McCoy softened the Packers with runs of 9 and 25 yards on the Eagles first series of the second half before Foles found Cooper for the 45-yard score and a 17-3 lead. When safeties creep into the box to stop the run, "youve got to be able to throw the ball over the top," coach Chip Kelly said. "Weve got some guys in DeSean and Coop that can go over the top that we believe in." The strong-armed Foles exposed Green Bays secondary in the second half. Cooper was wide open on both of his scores, rolling over the goal line on his 45-yarder after being untouched on the ground, then working his way free toward the left sideline after Morgan Burnett slipped for the 32-yard score to make it 27-10 with 10 seconds left in the third quarter. Whether its Lambeau or Oakland Coliseum, the Eagles succeed on the road (5-1). The only blemish was a 52-20 loss in Denver. Theyre still squarely in the race in the mediocre NFC East. "Were not good at home and were good on the road. We better figure it out because were coming home," Kelly said. Tolzien, who played college ball at Wisconsin, seemed at ease. He zipped a 22-yard pass to Brandon Bostick with 3:22 left in the third quarter to cut the Eagles lead to 20-10. The Eagles answered on their next drive with the second of Coopers two scoring catches. Tolziens biggest mistake came early in the second quarter, when he marched the Packers from their 18 into the red zone, only to be intercepted by Brandon Boykin in end zone on an underthrown ball to Jordy Nelson. At the time, the Eagles were only leading 7-0. "We had an awesome opportunity there and got a good look with the play that we were running," Tolzien said. "Looking back on the throw, I should have thrown more back pylon." Cooper finished with three catches for 102 yards, while Jackson had four catches for 80 yards. He caught his 27th career touchdown of 55 or more yards. ' ' '
