Newton may be dealing with a lisfranc injury

[Mr. Scot]

Hearing it right now on the radio, citing Joe Person.

I'm going to have to look for the article.

Oooooo... That can be very bad.

If Rivera had knowledge that cam has a lisfranc injury (which he has to cuz he's the coach) and let him play anyways,  it's just another reason to fire him. 

[Mr. Scot]

Thanks, 88.

They're saying if he chooses a non-surgical approach, the recovery timetable is something like 4 to 8 weeks. If it needs surgery, out for the year.

Of course they knew.   Most of us knew after preseason when he was pulled.   Just like he played half a year with a bad shoulder instead of surgery.   This team is terrible with managing injuries.

any midfoot injury is a lisfranc until proven otherwise

weirdest thing is that xrays can be negative initiatlly, then positive a weak later

Yep. I had one in the army that I thought was a sprain & it wasn't caught til I was still having problems a month later & they decided to do another x-ray.

Text from Person's Athletic article (linked above)

Multiple sources confirmed Newton is dealing with a Lisfranc injury, in which the ligaments of the mid-foot rupture, causing instability with the joints. Some Lisfranc injuries involve trauma to the small bones in the foot, although the Panthers’ initial wording that Newton had sustained a mid-foot sprain would suggest his is ligament-related.

Depending on the severity, some athletes require season-ending surgery to repair Lisfranc, which was the case with former Panthers center Ryan Kalil in 2012.

And though Rivera would not answer a question about possible surgery for Newton, sources said that is not the plan at this time.

Sports medicine experts suggest a recovery period of four to eight weeks for athletes taking a non-surgical approach to a Lisfranc, depending on the severity.

This was said after the Patriots game. That's what a lot of us were afraid of initially when it happened and I couldn't believe Cam was even ready for the opener.

Its sounding more and more like hes going to be out through the bye week. 

If Kyle Allen goes 4-0 before the bye i dont even care if cams 100 percent.  You have to go with momentum and the hot hand and not fug the teams mojo and chemistry up. 

I think we can handle Tampa in London but the Texans and Jaguars arent pushovers in the slightest.

Whelp! Hopefully Kyle can keep the pace he set in AZ because he's gonna be in for a while.

tight, can't wait for Cam to sit out a few months, give it a go at the end of the season and then have surgery in February 2020
