Panthers.com: Update on Cam Newton

Quote

“I spent a long time speaking with Cam this week and he’s done everything he possibly can in his rehab process to get his foot to 100 percent,” general manager Marty Hurney said. “Unfortunately, we haven’t reached that point. The next step is for him to go see Dr. Anderson and gather more information.”

 

The Athletic: Why Cam Newton is seeking a third opinion by Jourdan Rodrigue (subscription required)

Quote

Newton’s visit to Anderson, a source told The Athletic, means that Newton is seeking a third opinion on his foot. He is working with the Panthers’ medical staff and his own team of physicians in Atlanta, but has become frustrated with the fickle nature of the injury and anxious about how slow it has taken to heal.

The source said Newton felt comfortable with Anderson, whom he has worked with in the past, and that familiarity was important as he seeks more information about his injury.

 

Charlotte Observer: Newton meeting with specialist will “really impact” his future with the Panthers by Brendan Marks

Quote

“He’s going up and probably seeing one of the best foot doctors, and whatever we get from the doctor, I think will probably really impact the decisions going forward,” Rivera said. “But until then, like I said, it would be pure speculation.”

Rivera also said he “didn’t want to get into” whether the team would consider placing Newton on season-ending injured reserve (IR).

 

CBS Sports: Cam Newton's continued absence a cautionary tale for optimistic timetables on foot injuries by Jonathan Jones

Quote

It's not so much that Cam Newton suffered a setback in his recovery for a mid-foot sprain so much as there hasn't been any significant recovery at all. From finally getting on the field in pregame warmups Sunday to visiting another doctor's office by Friday, the lack of improvement is what's most frustrating and concerning for the former NFL MVP and his 4-3 Carolina Panthers team.

One other thing which may not necessarily mean anything, but I've made a mental note of...

Top team sources Bill Voth and Max Henson haven't said jack about this. Even the article on Panthers.com doesn't list an author.

The only primary team source that I've so far seen even acknowledge that this story exists is Caroline Cann.

Make of that what you will.

(perhaps a hat, or a brooch, maybe even a pterodactyl...)

Reading them all together, the most common thread seems to be that they're doing everything imaginable to try to avoid surgery.

Unfortunately, it might not be working.

In that regard, I would hope that Cam's experience with his shoulder would influence how he approaches surgery. I know in general, athletes do not want to go under the knife, but this is the second injury that has (seemingly) failed to respond to a conservative rest and rehab plan.

All three are puppets.....that said, Cann seems to be semi-legit.

Did you see Rosinski's comment?

There-in lay a rub....

When this happened a lot of former players were saying this injury ended their careers or the careers of others they knew.  This is shaping up to be a lot more serious than the team wanted to initially acknowledge.

This team can’t go through another off season with Cam going through rehab and getting limited reps.

why am i not surprised at this.  100% recovery rate from this injury is over the 90% percentile within 15 months.   he did this with his shoulder too.

Once again Cam is trying to avoid surgery that will probably have to happen. I think father time might just be catching up. 

There's no evidence to suggest this is the case -- if anything it would be the opposite.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
