CAM NEWTON transverse process spine fracture: GOOD NEWS: not dangerous, no paralysis, short term injury. BAD NEWS: could miss next game.

[Jase]

He was gonna miss this game due to soft tissue pain anyway, probably.

[Paa Langfart]

Just IR him- this season is poo anyway

[PantherWake]

I think we should IR him but we'll see

[Nate Dogg]

He should've been on IR after the first 20 minutes of the Philly game.

 

This season is like a dog that got hit by a car and is suffering. Can someone just put it out of its misery already?

I wouldn't IR him but let Anderson run the table. If somehow we make the playoffs then he should be ready and we give it a run.

If we IR him and we make the playoffs then we cannot use him.

If doctors clear Cam to play without risking permanent injury, let him play.  The season is still salvageable.  Records don't mean poo in the playoffs.  And its not like Carolina gets there often or for that matter hosts a playoff game.  Anything can happen once you get in.

[Cary Kollins]

Why IR him?

 

If Anderson can win us the next game or two, why not just have Cam ready for the playoffs if needed.

[Khaki Lackey]

Why do I get the feeling that Belichick is going to end up stealing him somehow?

Belichick will get RG3. Calling it now. He'll bench him for 2 years, and then take over for Tom.

[t96]

Literally no reason to IR him now unless he has surgery or something drastic that would rule him out through any possible playoff games. I tentatively expect him back for the Browns/Falcons games if we beat the Bucs.

[Jase]

I'll be eager to hear Jeremy and Sammi Jo's opinions on this while she's getting bodypainted on the podcast tonight.

[Mol3m4n]

Jeremy made an awesome point on Twitter that it is possible that Cam had this injury before the car accident.
