This foot re-injury story does not add up....it's a smokescreen.

[SBiii]

Cam showed no signs of an injury in the game. 

If he was injured the Panthers were obligated to provide an In-Game Injury Report (there was none).

Cam walked normally after the game, wore his normal street shoes, no boot was required.

If there really is a tweak/injury it must be WAY less serious than the original sprain, this is the good news.

Last time there were x-rays taken, a boot was utilized, the GM provided an update the next day ("We are cautiously optimistic he will be ready for Week 1.") including a probable time-line for return.  Cam returned to practice, albeit with limited participation, 4-days after the Patriots game.

We've established that if there is a tweak of the sprain it's less serious than the original injury and here we are just finding out about it on day-5?  And he can't practice and there's zero disclosure on a probable time-frame, etc...?

Doesn't add up.  This is a smokescreen....

....eventually the smoke will clear and we will learn the truth.

Maybe he hurt it at home after the game?  Maybe he injured it kicking the neighbors cat while contemplating his life under Ron Rivera?   Maybe it was the Russians?  My bet?  Alien's.

Smokescreen for what?

I can think of two options:

1. He really has fallen out of love with the game and the team is using the foot as cover to give him time to figure what he wants to do. It going public that he is have mental issues would not be good for him. He admitted to battling some depression last year.

2. It’s actually the shoulder and we don’t want other teams to know it’s the shoulder.

I really hope it’s option 3 and it’s just the foot, but the OP is right that foot thing doesn’t really add up. Possible he did hurt it a little but I have a hard time seeing it being hurt enough to completely prevent him from playing.

teams simply  don't disclose all injuries on an injury report.  We know that is a fact.  As our own players when the season has ended have then admitted to all sorts of injuries that they played with for weeks.  And team clearly was aware.

How long is the mod crew planning on letting OP drag this alt out? How much idiocy do you need to see?

[CatTower]

You're wrong.  There was one play that Newton was running out of bounds and came up hobbling.  That was probably when it happened.

he literally pulled up and winced and limped after the 1 time he tried to run the ball. no need to read any more of your post beyond this line

[beastson]

Here you go Mr. I want it to be a smokescreen

Has it ever occurred to you that his foot never fully healed the first time? No? I mean a true Panthers fan would know Cam play injured or not, which should stop. Will it stop under Ron watch? Definitely not.

If the team was aware of injuries and didn’t report it the union would have a field day
