BROWN’S BIG DAY: Wide receiver Corey Brown was inches away from reeling in what would have been the play of the game last Friday in Buffalo. On Monday, he and quarterback Cam Newton were right on target.
Brown made a number of catches on intermediate routes. His best came on a corner route against cornerback Bene Benwikere. Brown created enough separation and tracked the ball high over his shoulder for a big gain.
EARNING A CHANCE: After making a good impression in the preseason opener, reserve defensive ends Rakim Cox and Arthur Miley were given some first-team reps Monday.
