Everyone relax, Cam is A-OK

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Panthers are not concerned about Cam Newton's shoulder injury.

Newton was replaced by Taylor Heinicke on a Hail Mary attempt in Week 13, raising concerns over his surgically-repaired shoulder. Newton is reportedly dealing with "general soreness," though the Panthers still believe he can "make all the throws." Rapsheet added that Newton's injury will not require offseason surgery. Cam didn't throw much at practice early in the week, but was upgraded to full participation at Friday's session, prompting his removal from the injury report.

Newton being okay and "the Panthers not being concerned" are not the same thing, especially with Rivera in charge.

It’s really a shame most people immediately infer surgical procedure the second an injury or general decline in ability take place. Conservative measures should always be at the forefront before even considering surgery as an option.

what a relief.......

If/When it becomes mathematically impossible to make the playoffs they should sit Cam. No matter how much he begs to be on the field. Shut him down for his own good.

So does this mean Ron can’t put Cam on his list of excuses...

Tell you what, when he throws a pass on the money for more than 30 yards through the air I will stop being concerned.   Until then sorry but something is wrong.

Cam is a straight up warrior. He would elect to play injured if left up to him alone. A good coaching staff would step in an protect Cam from Cam. I don’t think Ron would do that. He’s concerned about himself, not Cam...he never has been.
