Jimmy Clausen will start for the Panthers on Saturday against the Giants, with rookie quarterback likely serving as the team's No. 2 quarterback. Clausen has been getting all the first-team snaps with Carolina in training camp. "It's going to be a good test for us," Clausen said. "We have to come out of the box fast and put some points on the board and keep progressing like we've been doing every day." There's a good chance Newton, the first-overall pick in April's NFL Draft, will start at some point in the preseason, possibly as soon as next week at Miami.
