Cam to see foot specialist

[Bartin]

It is unclear whether this is just a regular check up or if it is not healing properly/suffered a setback and he is going there to look at other options. Obviously hoping for the former.

The doctor he is going to see is Dr. Robert Anderson who used to be based in Charlotte and was the Panthers team physician until a couple years ago. He is considered to be the top foot specialist in the country and NFL players from all over regularly travel to see him if they have foot issues.

I dont think you travel halfway across country to see a specialist if you're not having issues

Luke saw a brain specialist in Pittsburgh after his concussion in 2016 and we all know he didn't play the rest of that season.

Wouldn't be surprised if Cam's out the rest of the season hearing this news.

Could be a part of his standard rehab. It’s also possible that it’s a setback. A foot injury is a strange beast. Just ask Olsen. We actually talked about this on our podcast a couple of months ago, that this foot thing could linger. Particularly with his brand of play.

But again, just have to see what reporting comes out of it later today.

Yeah this isn't good.

I agree, there is a reason they say foot injuries can derail a career, especially an Achilles injury (thankfully he doesn’t have that injury). It is still not looking good for a return this year.

Could be he is getting it amputated.

Could be he had a setback

Could be a final checkup before he returns to practice.

People fly half way across the country for much less important things.

Well hes no longer in the walking boot, is he?  I would think if there was a significant set back, then he would be back in the boot, no?

I'm not usually one to freak out.. I leave that for morons like Steven8989. But this ain't good. 

I've had this feeling that we don't see cam again this year and this may confirm it

I feel like he could just get that in Charlotte...no? Has he been seeing this specialist all along? I guess we don't really know.

As I said before, my guess was it needed surgery and he was trying to avoid it.  I just want him to do whatever it takes to get 100%.

Update from Rapoport. This doesn’t look good.

Looking like we might have Allen for the rest of the year.

[bigskypanthersguy]

I would let him rest the remainder of the year then see where the chips fall.
