Cam Newton still limited in mobility

Recommended Posts

Cam Newton's recovery from ankle surgery has gone well by all accounts. With training camp starting this week, we'll get to see how close he is to Full Newton.

The Charlotte Observer notes that Newton was throwing to receivers last week in Greensboro, N.C., but he was limited in his mobility. That is to be expected less than four months removed from major surgery, but it's a reminder that this was a major surgery.

Newton's ankle surgery has surprisingly received relatively little attention this offseason. Perhaps that's because he was able to participate in some of the team's 7-on-7 drills in mid-June. Or because there's been so much attention on the changes in Carolina at wide receiver and on the offensive line. Maybe it's because Newton looks like Superman, and we all assume he can discard surgeries like arm tackles.

The Panthers are asking Newton to handle more responsibility than ever this year. He needs to carry an otherwise flawed offense. That will be a lot easier if he maintains his explosiveness as a runner, which means we'll be watching his ankle closely in August.

Healing ankle with shaky offensive line? Not good.

Wanted to make a thread about this but just decided against it. This cannot be good news. Depending on where the pain is, he might be able to play considering I always have pain in my ankles (I play soccer once a week and I do a lot of running but I have had no surgery). This might be a very long season guys.

So is this another one of those offseason threads where people get worked up over nothing?

There's literally like no new information in that article.

It basically says he's in the final stage of recovery, but taking basic precautions.

As at 3 days ago, Cam was experiencing some pain on pushoffs and pain is never a good sign.

 

 

Newton was more active on his dropbacks Wednesday night than he was at last month’s practice, but he still gets an occasional sharp pain on strong push-offs, Costa said.

But, but but...!!!

Hmmm. So are you saying we are getting worked up over nothing?

How dare you

His ankle is completely healed, otherwise they wouldn't have cleared him for full participation weeks ago. He's played with pain in it all his career. At least it's repaired now. Instead of playing with pain in a damaged ankle he'll be playing with pain in a recovering ankle.

He's gonna be fine. He's Superman.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
