Cam Newton “still rehabbing” injured foot

Earlier this season, Panthers coach Ron Rivera threw the most polite hissy fit ever, walking out of a press conference when he grew tired of being asked questions about Cam Newton‘s injured foot. After the Panthers took a 51-13 thrashing from the 49ers, Rivera apparently wasn’t in a mood to continue that conversation. Newton’s still [more]After the Panthers took a 51-13 thrashing from the 49ers, Rivera apparently wasn’t in a mood to continue that conversation.

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been placed on injured reserve. Now that he’s done for the season, it sounds like he may be reconsidering how he attacks his recovery.

The best outdoor home security cameras of 2019

Looking ahead, Newton has one year left on his contract. If the Panthers keep him around for 2020, he will have a cap hit of $21.1 million. The team can save $19.1 million of that by cutting or trading him. However, if Newton is able to get back to healthy that’s a bargain for an above-average quarterback.

For now, the Panthers seem content to keep Kyle Allen as their starter. He’s 5-1 heading into today’s matchup with the Packers.
