Cam is injured. And not just his bum ankle.

[SgtJoo]

 

Cam Newton isn't just dealing with his surgically repaired ankle. The Carolina Panthers quarterback has two bad wheels right now.

 

Newton is nursing a right foot injury the Panthers training staff believes might be the result of compensating for the lingering soreness in his left ankle, a source told FOX Sports. The combination of lower-leg issues could explain why Newton has appeared to be sluggish, particularly on Monday night while he was trying to escape Philadelphia Eagles pass rushers during a 45-21 loss for the Panthers.

 

Newton was limping for much of the game and jogged gingerly to and from the sideline between series. Following one sack, he was stretching his groin or hamstring area, so he might have tweaked a muscle in that region as well.

 

his has been an injury-plagued year for Newton dating back to his ankle surgery in the spring, a procedure he admitted recently was "bigger than I thought." He also suffered a rib injury in the preseason, which led to his being inactive for the Panthers' season-opening win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

 

In addition to those ailments, Newton is battling a thumb issue on his throwing hand that's forced him to wrap it during games.

 

Newton's foot issue hasn't been listed on the team's injury report. He hasn't missed practice time for any injuries since September.

 

 

 

Welp.

Wow. I give props to that man for his toughness. Sad

[Fox007]

And ribs and whatever else happens when you get sacked 7 and 9 times every damn game.

 

The answer is NOT on the fuging roster...almost everyone on this board knew Bell and Chandler weren't starting NFL material but....

[TheRed]

Aren't we supposed to list that on the injury report?

[Fox007]

Wow. I give props to that man for his toughness. Sad

 

No one can ever question his toughness and I don't think he gets enough credit for that at all.

 

He's a super man in the area of toughness for sure.

[Fox007]

Aren't we supposed to list that on the injury report?

 

 

Well we should also do poo like..call time outs before the end of the half to try to score....not challenge obvious calls you're going to lose and other things Rivera completely fails at...that list is too large to post but yea Rivera isn't the sharpest tool

[carolinarolls]

So why does he keep suiting up?

If he is that hurt and the entire rest of the team is as garbage as everyone says, why is he playing?

Seems pretty selfish.

[KendrickPanther]

Yeah it's great that all this comes out after a loss. Comes off as excuses. If he can't play then don't play him. None of those injuries cause his decision making issues.

[Chimera]

Cam is definitely tough, but there comes a time when you've got to shut it down and heal.

[ThinkAboutIt]

Obviously. 

[BIGH2001]

At what point do you just shut it down for the season and let Gettleman try again to be a competent GM in the offseason by bringing in offensive lineman who actually touch the other team on the way by

[SgtJoo]

So by my tally...

 

• Ribs
• Ankle
• Foot
• Thumb
• Wrist

 

[WhoAmI?]

I have my doubts about Cam, but there is no doubt in my mind that Cam is one tough SOB.

[ThinkAboutIt]

Yeah it's great that all this comes out after a loss. Comes off as excuses. If he can't play then don't play him. None of those injuries cause his decision making issues.

 

I said all of this during the game. Thanks for finally catching up. And yes, injuries to both ankles affect your decision making. Your brain doesn't have to be located in your ankles for that to be the case.
