Surgery now being considered
The Panthers are now considering surgery to address the Lisfranc injury in Newton's left foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Newton previously was expected to focus on rehab instead of undergoing a procedure, but it appears the Panthers are considering a different plan of attack. Such a decision will be made in the next two weeks, at which point he'd embark on a recovery of 8-to-10 weeks on the short end, and three months at the most. If surgery is ordered up, Newton should be healthy by the time the new league year starts in early March. He has one year remaining on his contract…read more

Placed on injured reserve
The Panthers placed Newton (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Coach Ron Rivera was previously unwilling to rule out an IR stint for Newton when asked about the matter, so the transaction doesn't come as a major surprise. Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the move to IR officially rules out Newton returning in the regular season, though the quarterback could be reinstated to the 53-man roster should the Panthers make the playoffs and have one of their two "designated-to-return" spots still open. Kyle Allen will continue to serve as the team's starting…read more

Out again Week 10
Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Monday that Newton (foot) wouldn't be available for the Panthers' Week 10 game against the Packers, Max Henson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Though reports surfaced over the weekend suggesting Newton might be a candidate for injured reserve due to the slow progress in his recovery from the Lisfranc injury, Rivera was unwilling to comment on the quarterback's status beyond Week 10. Kyle Allen will pick up an eighth consecutive start in Newton's stead Sunday in Green Bay.

IR stint not ruled out
Coach Ron Rivera said, "We'll see," when asked whether Newton (foot) will be placed on injured reserve, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton has missed six consecutive games due to a Lisfranc injury in his left foot. After a recent visit with Dr. Robert Anderson, Newton doesn't have surgery in his imminent future, per David Newton of ESPN.com. Instead, Newton is "expected to need several weeks' more rest," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rivera's comments after Sunday's win against the Titans indicate the Panthers haven't ruled out an IR stint for Newton, which effectively would end his season. For the foreseeable…read more

Likely to avoid surgery, still no timeline
Newton isn't expected to require a procedure to address the Lisfranc injury to his left foot after meeting this week with Dr. Robert Anderson, who didn't recommend surgery to treat the injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While Newton appears set to continue treating the injury through rest and rehab, the Panthers "have no [specific] timeline" for the 2015 MVP's return to action, per Josina Anderson of ESPN. Meanwhile, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Newton is "expected to need several weeks' more rest" for his foot to heal, making a move to injured reserve an increasingly realistic possibility. Kyle Allen will make a sixth consecutive start in place of Newton on Sunday versus Tennessee.

Visiting foot specialist
Newton (foot) will visit foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay on Friday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Newton was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans at the start of the week and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the veteran quarterback's Lisfranc injury isn't improving as expected, prompting the trip to Green Bay. Newton elected to forgo surgery in favor of the rest-and-rehab method after aggravating the preseason injury in Week 2, but his lack of progress may have him reconsidering going under the knife.

Ruled out for Week 9 start
Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Monday that Newton (foot) wouldn't be cleared to start Week 9 against the Titans, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. "We've got to make sure he's ready,'' Rivera said of Newton. "The last update I got more so than anything else is he's going through his rehab. We'll see. Right now, we're going into this game with Kyle [Allen] as the starter."
Analysis: While Rivera didn't rule Newton out from returning to practice this week, the franchise quarterback unsurprisingly will be sidelined for a sixth straight game while he continues to work back from a Lisfranc injury. Allen has been mostly impressive while guiding the Panthers to four wins in five starts in Newton's absence, but he endured his worst showing to date in Sunday's 51-13 loss to the 49ers, completing only 19 of 37 passes for 158 yards and tossing three interceptions.

Unlikely to start Week 9
Newton (foot) may be cleared to resume practicing this week, but he's not expected to start next Sunday's game against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Rapoport, Newton is scheduled for some follow-up tests on his left foot Monday as the Panthers' training staff assesses whether he's fit to participate Wednesday in the team's first practice of Week 9. Even if Newton gains clearance to practice, the Panthers probably won't be inclined to rush him back into game action by the weekend following a six-week layoff. That seemingly puts Kyle Allen on track for his sixth consecutive start, but the second-year signal-caller may have lost…read more

Travels with team this weekend
Newton (foot), who won't play Sunday at San Francisco, nonetheless is traveling with the Panthers, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: The development is notable, as it marks the first time Newton has joined the team on a road trip since he was diagnosed with a Lisfranc injury in his left foot after Week 2. It also comes on the heels of Newton putting in a more active workout on a side field Wednesday, going through more football-specific drills and focusing on his footwork. That said, he doesn't have a precise timetable for a return, which will give Kyle Allen another chance to lead the Panthers offense.

No practice yet, but progressing
Newton (foot) didn't practice Wednesday but coach Ron Rivera was pleased with how the quarterback looked while working out on the side, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports. "So far, so good," Rivera said.
Analysis: According to Marks, Newton took an encouraging step with his rehab Wednesday, performing more football-specific drills and working on his footwork. While Newton doesn't have a specific timetable for a return to action, he has been ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco, giving Kyle Allen another opportunity to direct the Panthers offense.

Progressing in rehab
Newton (foot) appeared to take a step forward in his rehab process Wednesday, going through more specific football drills, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Newton won't make it back for Sunday's game in San Francisco, but he's at least showing tangible signs of progress in his rehab from a Lisfranc sprain. Coach Ron Rivera hasn't commented on the Panthers' quarterback situation beyond this week.

Continuing rehab this week
Newton's rehabilitation from a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot will continue this week, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Ron Rivera wouldn't commit to Newton returning to practice any time soon, but he did state that Kyle Allen will be the Panthers' starting QB this Sunday in San Francisco. There's no telling when Newton will get clearance to play for the first time since Week 2, but Allen will be under center until he completes his recovery.

Big contract decision upcoming
If the Panthers cut or trade Cam Newton (foot) in the offseason, they'll save $19.1 million from their cap for the 2020 season, in the last season of his deal, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on the morning pregame show.
Analysis: Thus, it behooves the Panthers to find out what they have in Kyle Allen as Newton is pretty much a known quantity to them. That explains why it might be 'highly unlikely' for him to play after the bye week.

'Highly unlikely' for Week 8
While Newton (foot) hasn't been ruled out for the Panthers' next game Oct. 27 against the 49ers, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that it's "highly unlikely" the quarterback will be ready to play in Week 8.
Analysis: Though recent reports have suggested Newton is on tap to resume practicing coming out of the Panthers' Week 7 bye, La Canfora relays that there's a "sense" that the 30-year-old's recovery from the left foot sprain will still require multiple weeks of rehab, practice and increased conditioning before Carolina is convinced that he's 100 percent. The fact that Kyle Allen has led Carolina to a 4-0 record in Newton's absence affords the Panthers some extra leeway in proceeding carefully with their…read more

On pace to practice next week
Newton (foot) is expected to resume practicing after the Panthers' Week 7 bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Although Newton is reaching the final stages in his recovery from a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot, there seems to be a question of whether he'll retain his job as the starting quarterback once healthy. In Newton's place, Kyle Allen has won four consecutive starts while completing 65.6 percent of his passes for 901 yards and seven touchdowns versus no interceptions. Firmly in the NFC playoff picture for the time being, the Panthers may ride the hot hand (Allen) as long as it takes for Newton…read more

No lock to play after Week 7 bye
Newton (foot) may not be ready to practice at any point during the Panthers' upcoming bye week, and the team isn't certain if he'll be in line to resume starting duties Oct. 27 versus the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Newton will be inactive for the fourth straight game Sunday against the Buccaneers in London, the signal-caller seemed to take a step forward in his recovery from the Lisfranc injury a few days ago, when he was able to shed the walking boot on his foot. While ditching the boot amounted to a positive sign, the Panthers apparently are reluctant to bring Newton back until he's 100 percent healthy, according to Rapoport. Furthermore, a team source told Rapoport that if Carolina continues its…read more

Won't return for Week 6
Coach Ron Rivera said that Newton (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers in London, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports. "Medically it doesn't make sense to put him on a plane for eight hours just to stand around," Rivera said of the quarterback.
Analysis: Newton shed the walking boot on his left foot and was seen working out on the side during the Panthers' practice Tuesday, seemingly leaving the door open a crack for a potential return from a three-game absence this weekend. Rivera quickly dismissed any chance of Newton making a comeback in London, however, paving the way for Kyle Allen to make another start under center.

Ditches walking boot
Newton was spotted without a walking boot on his left foot Tuesday and is expected to work out on the side during the Panthers' practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Panthers won't release their first practice report of Week 6 until Wednesday, so the extent of Newton's activity may not fully be known until then. In any case, the fact that Newton has ditched his boot amounts to a meaningful step forward in the recovery process and keeps hope alive for a potential return Sunday against the Buccaneers in London. Given that Carolina will have a bye following the game against Tampa Bay, however, it's quite likely that Newton misses another contest before…read more

Remains out Week 5
Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Monday that Newton (foot) remains without a timeline for a return and will sit out the Week 5 matchup with the Jaguars, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The news doesn't come as a surprise after Newton posted a video Friday indicating that he suffered a mild Lisfranc sprain in his left foot during the third week of the preseason and then aggravated the injury in a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. Like Rivera, Newton was unwilling to offer up a specific timeline for a return, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed that the quarterback has an "outside shot" at being ready to go for the Panthers' Week 6 rematch with the Buccaneers in London.

Confirms Lisfranc injury
Newton confirmed in a personal vlog he suffered a mild Lisfranc sprain and will be out an unspecified amount of time, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newton, who initially injured his foot during the preseason, said he aggravated the issue in the Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers, but was noncommittal on a timeframe for return saying, "It could very well be a week. Or two weeks. It could be three weeks, it could be four weeks, it could be six weeks.

Believed to have Lisfranc injury
Newton's left foot issue is believed to be a Lisfranc injury rather than a sprain, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton was first diagnosed with the mid-foot sprain in the preseason and suffered an aggravation in the Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay. While the Panthers haven't confirmed that Newton is dealing with a Lisfranc injury -- a condition in which the ligaments in the foot rupture and cause instability -- that diagnosis would put the quarterback at more risk of requiring season-ending surgery. For now, Newton is expected to treat his foot injury through rest and rehab and is viewed as out indefinitely,…read more

Timetable for return unclear
Coach Ron Rivera acknowledged Monday that "there's no exact timetable" for Newton's (foot) return to action, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. "What Cam needs right now is time and rest for his foot. We want him at 100 percent when he's ready," Rivera noted. "At this point, we're going to go forward with Kyle (Allen) as our starter."
Analysis: Newton has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, and given how quickly that call was made, we'd consider the Panthers' franchise QB week-to-week, and in turn, very iffy for Week 5's game against the Jaguars.

Won't be rushed back
Kyle Allen's effective performance in Sunday's 38-20 win over Arizona could inspire the Panthers to take a more cautious approach with Newton's return from a mid-foot sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Newton is still considered day-to-day, with a chance to practice as soon as Wednesday. His recovery timeline hasn't changed, but the sense of urgency should decrease after Allen led the team to a comfortable victory. The Panthers aren't likely to rush Newton back before he's 100 percent healthy, having already dealt with the negative consequences of that approach earlier this month. However, a return to practice Wednesday would give Newton a shot at playing in a Week 4 game against Houston.

Could practice Wednesday
The Panthers believe there's a "real chance" Newton (foot), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, could resume practicing Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport notes that the Panthers are viewing Newton's left mid-foot sprain as a day-to-day concern, which differs from a report earlier Sunday from Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports that classified the injury as a week-to-week matter. Either way, Newton's status for the Week 4 matchup with Houston won't be established until the Panthers have a chance to check him out in practices next Wednesday through Friday, if he even makes it on the field.

Multi-game absence feared
Newton could be at risk of missing time beyond Sunday's game against the Cardinals, as the Panthers intend to keep him off the field until they're convinced he's not at increased threat to aggravate his lingering left mid-foot sprain, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Newton's injury first surfaced in the third week of the preseason, but the signal-caller went on to start the first two games of the regular season, completing only 56.2 percent of his passes for 6.4 yards per attempt and carrying just five times for minus-2 yards. After tweaking his foot again in the Sept. 12 loss to Tampa Bay, Newton failed to practice at any point this week, prompting the Panthers to rule him out for Sunday and turn to Kyle Allen as their new starter.

Analysis: Rivera claims to be viewing the foot sprain as a day-to-day injury, but Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic notes that the Panthers coach has also mentioned the possibility of giving Newton extra time to rest to decrease the odds of another setback.

Analysis: For the second day in a row, Newton focused on rehab and attended meetings, missing practice in the process. He seems to be trending in the wrong direction, but the fact that the team hasn't ruled him out just yet leaves a glimmer of hope he'll be available Sunday in Arizona. If the Panthers ultimately keep Newton on the sideline this weekend, Kyle Allen will assume QB duties.

Week 3 status up in air
Coach Ron Rivera has yet to make a determination about Newton's (foot) status for Sunday's game in Arizona, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton is tending to an aggravation of a mid-foot sprain in his left foot, which has left him in a walking boot. Per Rivera, Newton has been focusing on rehab and attending meetings, but practice hasn't become a part of his Week 3 regimen. If Newton does miss Sunday's game, Kyle Allen is preparing to start in his absence.

Newton (foot) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newton is managing an aggravation of the left mid-foot sprain he's been battling since the third week of the preseason and continues to don a walking boot for extra protection. The 30-year-old would likely need to resume practicing in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a realistic chance of suiting up Sunday versus the Cardinals. If Newton is forced to miss any time, coach Ron Rivera has said that Kyle Allen will draw the start under center.

Newton (foot) was still sporting a walking boot when he appeared at the Panthers' facility Wednesday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Newton presumably won't practice Wednesday, but the Panthers hope to get him back in some capacity Thursday or Friday. If not, he likely would miss Sunday's game in Arizona, with Kyle Allen then stepping in to start at quarterback. Newton is dealing with an aggravation of the mid-foot sprain he initially suffered in the third week of the preseason. He's completed 56.2 percent of passes for 6.4 yards per attempt through two weeks, adding just five carries for minus-2 yards.

Panthers general manager Marty Hurney confirmed that Newton aggravated a left foot injury in the Week 2 loss to Buccaneers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. "We will see how it goes," Hurney said, when asked about Newton's availability for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.
Analysis: Hurney labeled Newton as day-to-day, but the GM's comments cast plenty of doubt on the signal-caller's status for the weekend. Teammate Eric Reid added further fuel to that notion when he revealed that Newton was sporting a walking boot at the team facility Tuesday, per Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer.

Foot injury clouds Week 3 status
Newton aggravated a left foot injury in the Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals up in the air, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.
Analysis: The Panthers are expected to offer more information regarding Newton's condition at the conclusion of Tuesday's practice, which should provide more insight into the quarterback's potential to play this weekend. Newton's foot injury dates back to the third game of the preseason and may explain his uncharacteristic lack of involvement on the ground to date, as he's carried only five times for minus-2 yards through the first two weeks of the regular season.

Conditioning to blame?
Coach Ron Rivera speculated that Newton's lack of accuracy during Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers may be related to the 10 days he sat out in August while tending to a mid-foot sprain, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Newton completed 66 percent of his passes in the opener but dropped off to 49 percent Week 2, so Rivera's comments are a bit dubious. Perhaps playing two games in the span of five days was part of the problem, but in any case Newton was not crisp Thursday, producing 6.5 yards per attempt on 51 throws. Newton's health could be a major story throughout the season, not only because of his recent foot issue but also his right throwing shoulder, which was operated on in both March 2017 and January…read more

Posts 300-yard effort in loss
Newton completed 24 of 50 passes for 324 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Panthers' 20-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday. He also rushed twice for no gain and lost a fumble.
Analysis: The night was a mixed bag for Newton despite his impressive yardage total, as he was only able to lead the Panthers to four field goals. The 30-year-old QB also saw a third-quarter interception wiped out by penalty, but Newton then committed his fumble two plays later on one of the three sacks he took. On the brighter side, Newton was in synergy with Greg Olsen and DJ Moore, hitting the duo a combined 15 times for 199 yards. However, Newton was often wild while targeting Curtis Samuel, who…read more

Throws pick in loss
Newton completed 25 of 38 passes for 239 yards and an interception during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble during the contest.
Analysis: Though far from spectacular, Newton was fairly efficient by the time the Panthers were driving in the middle of the fourth quarter, down by two scores before he misjudged a lurking linebacker and threw a costly pick. The passing stats were mediocre for Newton and he didn't make up for it on the ground with three carries for a combined loss of two yards. Following offseason shoulder surgery, many expected Newton to cut back on his running and operate more from the pocket. That was certainly the…read more

Set for season opener
Newton (foot) wasn't listed Wednesday on the Panthers' first injury report of Week 1, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: After recovering from January surgery to address his aching right shoulder, Newton slowly but surely built up his practice reps during training camp and was allowed to take the field in the third game of the preseason. In that contest, he picked up a mid-foot sprain, but the team remained confident in his ability to be ready for Week 1. If Wednesday's post from the Panthers is any indication, Newton will be out there for Sunday's showdown with the Rams.

Analysis: This supports a Monday morning statement from Panthers GM Marty Hurney, who said Newton is good to go for Sunday's season opener against the Rams. The 30-year-old quarterback suffered a mid-foot sprain in the third week of the preseason, but he otherwise enjoyed a healthy summer after recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Newton's health should be confirmed Wednesday, when the Panthers release their initial injury report.

Appears ready for Week 1
Newton (foot) appears to be good to go for Sunday's season opener against the Rams, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton was limited to individual work last week after suffering a mid-foot sprain in the Panthers' third preseason game. Based on comments from Panthers general manager Marty Hurney, it sounds like he's ready to rejoin his teammates in practice, possibly as soon as Monday or Tuesday. The 30-year-old quarterback avoided any setbacks in his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery, making it through training camp without any issues before he hurt his foot.

Expected back for Week 1
Coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday he has "no doubt" about Newton (foot) being ready for Week 1 against the Rams, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Diagnosed with a mid-foot sprain, Newton was limited to side work Monday and Tuesday during practice. He'll be held out of Thursday's preseason finale against the Steelers, though he presumably wouldn't play even if he were healthy. Meanwhile, the Panthers have an ongoing backup quarterback battle between Kyle Allen, Will Grier and Taylor Heinicke.

Light workout on tap
Newton (foot) is scheduled to do some light throwing at Monday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton wasn't spotted on the field for the start of the Panthers' session, but he's expected to arrive later in the day to fit in some work either in front of the media or behind the scenes. After being diagnosed with a left mid-foot sprain coming out of the Panthers' third preseason game, Newton already has been ruled out for Thursday's exhibition finale versus the Steelers and instead is turning his focus to the Sept. 8 matchup with the Rams.

Rids self of walking boot
Newton shed the walking boot on his left foot Sunday, Jelani Scott of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: The Panthers proceeded with caution with their franchise quarterback following offseason surgery on his right shoulder. The approach continued into the preseason, when he was held out of the first two exhibitions before getting clearance to play this past Thursday in New England. In that contest, Newton fell awkwardly during a hit, got off the field with a visible limp, and was seen with the boot after the game. He was diagnosed with a mid-foot sprain, but GM Marty Hurney nonetheless was…read more

Cautiously optimistic for Week 1
Newton was diagnosed Friday morning with a mid-foot sprain, leading Panthers general manager Marty Hurney to say he's "cautiously optimistic" the quarterback will be ready for Week 1, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hurney is acknowledging the possibility of a regular-season absence, but he at least seems to believe Newton's injury isn't a long-term problem. The quarterback initially was thought to have hurt his left ankle, which previously required surgery in March 2014 and was sprained again last November. Despite getting good news from initial X-rays, Newton used a walking boot on his left foot after making an early exit from Thursday's preseason game against New England. The Panthers' backup QB…read more

Needs MRI for ankle
While he hopes Newton's ankle injury isn't too serious, Panthers general manger Hurney admitted he won't have a good idea until some point Friday, ESPN.com's David Newton reports.
Analysis: X-rays came back negative after Newton was removed from Thursday's exhibition against New England, but he did use a walking boot to protect an injury that's initially being labelled as an ankle sprain. The quarterback has some history with the same left ankle, including surgery in March 2014 and a mid-game injury that caused him to miss three snaps Week 11 of last season. Newton is scheduled for an MRI on Friday, while Kyle Allen, Will Grier and Taylor Heinicke are the other options at…read more

Newton was spotted in a walking boot after Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

His surgically repaired shoulder seems to be holding up fine, with no reports of any setbacks throughout training camp.

Planned day off
Newton (shoulder) did not participate in any passing drills Saturday, but head coach Ron Rivera confirmed the off day was a part of the team's plans to limit his "pitch count" throughout the preseason, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Will Grier took over first-team snaps Saturday, but it's worth reiterating the Panthers are simply being cautious with their star quarterback following offseason shoulder surgery. Newton did do some light throwing on a separate field with a trainer according to David Newton of ESPN.com, so it wasn't a complete day off, but regardless it seems as if the 30-year-old is easily on track to be 100 percent come Week 1.

Analysis: Rivera's comments come one day removed from quarterbacks coach Scott Turner telling Steve Reed of the Associated Press that Newton has "no limitations." Considering Rivera's standing, we'll take his word for it, but Newton has been seen slinging it to all areas of the field, including a number of deep balls, during the first two days of camp.

Should gain clearance Wednesday
Newton (shoulder) is expected to gain clearance for training camp after he meets with team doctors later Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton should be available to partake in all activities, but the quantity of reps he handles likely will be scaled back to avoid any further issues with his problematic throwing shoulder. He had an arthroscopic procedure in January to remove scar tissue that built up after his 2017 surgery on a torn rotator cuff. Newton resumed throwing footballs in May and threw passes from around 20-to-25 yards out during June minicamp.

He then had an arthroscopic procedure in January to remove scar tissue that built up after his 2017 surgery on a torn rotator cuff.

Increases throwing range
Newton (shoulder) increased his throwing range to approximately 20 yards Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newton also threw to moving targets rather than stationary ones, but he still has a ways to go before he's cleared to practice with teammates. It should happen early in training camp, if not at the very beginning, as he'll have time to build up arm strength over the next six weeks. Based on pictures circulating around Twitter, Newton appears to have successfully lost weight in the offseason with help from a new trainer and a vegan diet.

Begins throwing again
Newton (shoulder) has begun throwing again for the first time since his offseason surgery, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Newton hasn't thrown in full-team OTA practices but has started overhand throwing regulation-sized footballs again during his rehab, which is a positive sign in his recovery process. It's unclear if he'll be able to throw during reps with his teammates at OTAs or minicamp, but it's expected that he'll be participating in most workouts when training camp rolls around.

Not throwing at OTAs
Newton (shoulder) hasn't been throwing during the first two days of OTAs, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Newton is coming off January surgery to repair his throwing shoulder after missing the final two games of the 2018 season. All reports regarding his recovery have been positive thus far, but it's not clear if Newton will be throwing much during OTAs at any point over the next three weeks. Even if he doesn't at all, Newton would still have one more chance -- the Panthers' mandatory minicamp from June 11 to 13 -- to get some live reps in before training camp.

Plans to throw before camp

Analysis: Newton had arthroscopic surgery in January after missing the final two games of 2018. The shoulder injury impacted his arm strength during the second half of the season, coinciding with Carolina's slide from a 6-2 record to a 7-9 finish. Newton's arthroscopic procedure in January included the removal of scar tissue that was left over from the surgery he had on a partially torn rotator cuff during the 2017 offseason.

While the quarterback remains without a timetable to resume throwing footballs, the Panthers have expressed nothing but optimism over Newton's recovery thus far and there doesn't appear to be any concern whatsoever about his Week 1 availability.

"We're really pleased with his workouts," Rivera said. "Reports we got have been all positive. I look forward to seeing him soon, but just very happy that things are trending in the right direction."
Analysis: Newton looked like the quarterback of yore through Week 12 of last season, but lingering soreness in the shoulder ultimately proved too much to overcome, forcing the Panthers to shut him down after a paltry 131-yard, one-interception effort Week 15 against the Saints.

Progressing well
The Panthers are pleased with Newton's rehab from offseason arthroscopic surgery on his throwing shoulder, ESPN's David Newton reports. "From what I've gotten in reports, Cam's progress has been very good," coach Ron Rivera noted. "He's been getting all his workouts in. Just knowing that gives you a little bit of confidence going forward."
Analysis: Given the encouraging reports surrounding Newton's recovery, the team currently has no plans to seek veteran QB help in free agency. The Panthers are expected to re-sign restricted free agent Taylor Heinicke, while 22-year-old Kyle Allen remains under contract with the team. Additionally, it appears as though one of Newton's key targets, tight end Greg Olsen, will remain with the franchise, despite offers to move into the broadcasting field.

The Panthers expect Newton (shoulder) to be ready to start the 2019 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Newton played through a shoulder injury for a bulk of the 2018 campaign, and although he'll likely be back for Week 1, the Panthers appeared slightly less certain about Newton being healthy to begin training camp after he underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove excess scar tissue in January.

"It's better than I thought it would be," Newton told 680 The Fan Atlanta on Wednesday.

Newton said his Jan. 24 shoulder procedure went better than he expected, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. "It's better than I thought it would be," Newton said Wednesday. "With so much going on throughout this season, I was in fear to see what actually was wrong.''
Analysis: The scope was performed by team physician Pat Connor, who previously operated on Newton's partially torn rotator cuff in March 2017. The 29-year-old quarterback is sure to have limitations during the offseason program, but he should have a chance to regain full strength in his problematic right shoulder before the start of training camp.

Analysis: The report adds that the QB's rehab process will begin immediately, but at this time there hasn't been an estimated time of recovery for Newton.

Shoulder surgery may be considered
Owner David Tepper admitted Tuesday that a decision hasn't been made regarding surgery on Newton's right throwing shoulder, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. "We have to recognize we may have to do things through the year if it doesn't [get better]," Tepper said. "We have to make sure we have our options in all ways possible."
Analysis: Upon first glance at his game log from the 2018 season, Newton was more or less himself for most of it, accounting for at least two touchdown passes in each game from Week 2 through Week 13. On top of that impressive run, he posted a career-high 67.9 completion percentage, averaged 4.8 yards per carry, and scored four TDs on the ground. After Week 7, he regularly was rested in practice due to lingering soreness in his right shoulder, and the lack of reps seemed to catch up to him in his final…read more

Newton (shoulder) finished the 2018 regular season with 3,395 yards, 24 touchdowns and 13 interceptions through the air and 101 carries for 488 yards and four scores on the ground in 14 games played.
Analysis: Newton started brilliantly under new offensive coordinator Norv Turner, passing for 15 touchdowns while throwing just four interceptions through Carolina's first eight games. All four of his rushing scores also came over that span, which coincided with six wins.

The signal-caller has gone on to start the Panthers' subsequent 30 regular-season contests, but that streak will come to an end Sunday against the Falcons after Carolina elected to shut Newton down earlier in the week.

Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Wednesday that Newton (shoulder) will miss the final two games of the season, adding that a healthy Taylor Heinicke gives the team a better chance to win, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Rivera may actually be right about the 25-year-old Heinicke, who has attempted just five passes in the NFL since going undrafted out of Old Dominion back in 2015. It's a testament to how bad Newton looked in the 12-9 loss to the Saints on Monday, when he managed just 4.5 yards per pass attempt and showed little ability to push the ball downfield.

Status unknown for final two games
Coach Ron Rivera hasn't ruled out Newton sitting the final two games of the season due to a lingering injury to his right throwing shoulder, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports. "It's a tough situation right now," Rivera said Tuesday. "Until I get a chance to visit with him I'm not going to speculate."
Analysis: The stats don't lie during the Panthers' current six-game losing streak. After throwing picks in just three out of the first eight contests of the season, he's tossed at least one interception in each of the six recent defeats. Perhaps more striking is accounting for his fewest passing yards (131 on Monday) since Week 4 of the 2015 season and lowest yards per attempt (4.5) in 123 career appearances.

Shoulder issue impacts performance
Newton admitted after Monday's game against the Saints that he's still battling constant soreness with his right shoulder, David Newton of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Newton completed just 16 of his 29 passes for 131 yards and an interception, with a number of underthrows seemingly the product of his shoulder issues, though he wasn't willing to place the blame on it. He's turned in arguably two of his worst efforts of the season in the last two weeks, completing a season-low 55 percent of his passes Monday while failing to throw a touchdown pass for the second time in as many weeks.

Struggles in another narrow defeat
Newton completed 16 of 29 passes for 131 yards and an interception in Monday night's 12-9 loss to the Saints. He also rushed five times for 15 yards.
Analysis: Newton turned in another disappointing performance as Carolina lost its sixth straight game. Although he entered Monday's contest without an injury designation, it's worth wondering whether Newton's banged-up throwing shoulder impacted his play. The quarterback posted season lows in passing yards, yards per attempt (4.52) and completion percentage (55.2), and finished with no touchdowns and an interception for the second game in a row.

It was merely preventative maintenance to limit the strain on Newton's surgically repaired right shoulder, which has been acting up in recent weeks.

Held without TD by Browns
Newton completed 26 of 42 passes for 265 yards and an interception while adding 23 yards on five carries in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: Both of Carolina's touchdowns were scored by running back Christian McCaffrey, as the Browns kept Newton without a rushing or passing score, snapping an 11-game streak with multiple touchdown passes for the mobile quarterback. He'll look to start a new such streak in Week 15 against an exploitable Saints secondary, assuming Newton's bothersome shoulder doesn't flare up.

Analysis: The fact that Newton doesn't carry an injury designation into the weekend already implied some level of confidence in his health, but it's at least reassuring for his fantasy managers to hear that Carolina is optimistic the quarterback can bounce back from his four-interception disaster against Tampa Bay. During that contest, Newton also ceded the final snap to backup Taylor Heinicke, who threw an unsuccessful Hail Mary attempt to close out the contest. Rapoport relays that Newton's shoulder…read more

Good to go Sunday
Newton (shoulder) practiced again Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Ron Rivera raised some alarms Wednesday when he wouldn't commit to Newton being available this weekend, but it seems the Panthers just wanted to see how the quarterback looked in practice the subsequent two days before signing off on him playing. Newton went through limited activity Thursday before he resumed throwing passes Friday, with Rivera relaying afterward that the quarterback looked "fine," per David Newton of ESPN.com. While Newton should be able to fight through the lingering…read more

Throwing passes Friday
Newton (shoulder) was spotted throwing passes during Friday's practice, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Newton did not throw Wednesday or Thursday, but he was apparently feeling good enough to do so at the Panthers' final practice session of the week. His availability for Week 14 remains undecided, and a final call on his status may not be made until Sunday.

Limited again Thursday
Newton (shoulder) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Although Newton didn't throw for a second consecutive day, he handled every practice rep that was expected of him, coach Ron Rivera told Max Henson of the Panthers' official site. Nothing that happened Thursday shed light on Newton's ability to play through lingering pain in his surgically repaired shoulder. The veteran signal-caller likely will do anything to keep the Panthers within striking distance of the postseason, but Rivera's comments this week have been less than convincing. Of note,…read more

Not throwing Thursday
Newton (shoulder) was on the field for team drills during the open portion of Thursday's practice but wasn't doing any throwing, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton looks destined to go down as a limited participant on the Panthers' practice report while not throwing for the second day in a row, an expected development while he continues to nurse persistent soreness in his surgically repaired right shoulder. The shoulder seems to be more of a concern with each passing week, with Newton relaying Wednesday that he hasn't ruled out undergoing another procedure after the season, per David Newton of ESPN.com. As for his status for Sunday's game against…read more

Week 14 status uncertain
Newton (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports. Afterward, Newton told Joe Person of The Athletic that he's "taking it day by day" to "be ready for Sunday" at Cleveland.
Analysis: After Newton's four-interception performance Week 13 against the Buccaneers, coach Ron Rivera said the quarterback's throwing shoulder was feeling "a little bit sore," per Marcel Louis-Jacques of The Charlotte Observer. On Wednesday, Rivera wouldn't commit to Newton being available this Sunday. "We'll see," Rivera told Strickland. "We're not even to Friday yet." Based solely on his activity level at Wednesday's practice, Newton is following his regimen from previous weeks, but Rivera's comments…read more

May have aggravated shoulder
Coach Ron Rivera said Newton's surgically repaired shoulder was "a little bit sore" during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Tampa Bay, Marcel Louis-Jacques of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Newton completed 28 of 41 passes (68.3 percent) for 300 yards and two touchdowns, but he also tossed four picks in a single game for the first time since his rookie season. He downplayed any talk of his shoulder being a factor, but it was telling when the Panthers brought in backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke for a Hail Mary throw on the final snap. Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer, Rivera said Newton will meet with the team's training staff to evaluate his shoulder, a process…read more

Commits four turnovers
Newton completed 28 of 41 pass attempts for 300 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers. He also carried six times for 33 yards.
Analysis: Newton reached 300 yards for the third time this season and threw multiple touchdowns for the 11th straight game. Unfortunately, his career-high-tying four interceptions were a large reason he had to air it out while playing from behind. The turnovers were definitely out of the norm for Newton, who came in having thrown multiple interceptions just once this season. He'll look to bounce back with a better performance next Sunday against the Browns.

Ready for dream matchup
Newton (shoulder) doesn't have a designation on the Panthers' final injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Newton followed his usual routine, logging a full practice Friday after starting the week with a pair of limited sessions. It appears he'll have all the key members of his supporting cast available for Sunday's matchup, as Devin Funchess (back) also upgraded to full participation Friday. The Buccaneers rank near the bottom of the league in every significant pass defense metric, including 32nd in opponent passer rating (119.5) and touchdowns allowed (26). Newton took a backseat to lead back…read more

Still limited at practice
Newton (shoulder) remained limited at Thursday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The typical cap on Newton's practice reps is extending into a second day, so he has just one more session to earn a "full" tag and officially get cleared for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. Assuming he does, per usual, he'll be facing a Buccaneers defense that he already shredded for 247 yards (9.9 yards per attempt) and two touchdowns Week 9.

Limited to start week
Newton (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per usual, the Panthers are scaling back Newton's practice workload to limit the stress on his surgically repaired shoulder. He didn't throw Wednesday, but should do so Thursday and/or Friday and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's favorable matchup with Tampa Bay.

Accurate in narrow defeat
Newton completed 25 of 30 passes for 256 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Seattle. He added 63 yards on eight carries.
Analysis: Newton completed all 14 of his first-half passes, including a 7-yard touchdown to Curtis Samuel in the second quarter. His 2-yard touchdown to Christian McCaffrey gave the Panthers a 27-20 lead with 6:57 remaining in the fourth quarter, but Seattle stormed back with 10 unanswered points to steal the game. Newton will have a golden opportunity to bounce back in Week 13, as he'll face a Buccaneers secondary that ranks among the league's most generous.

Ready for Sunday
Newton (shoulder) doesn't have a designation on the final injury report for Sunday's home game against Seattle.
Analysis: Newton upgraded to full participation Friday after starting the week with a pair of limited practices. The maintenance plan for his surgically repaired shoulder seems to be working, as he owns the best marks of his career for passer rating (102.7) and completion percentage (68.4). The Panthers likely will be playing without Devin Funchess (back) on Sunday, but it isn't a big loss given how bad he has looked recently. Fellow wideout Torrey Smith (knee) is tentatively expected to return, giving…read more

Remains limited Thursday
Newton (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton maintained the same level of participation for a second consecutive session, making throws in the process, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer. Perhaps more importantly, though, Newton didn't have "ankle" next to his name, a body part that forced him to miss a handful of snaps this past Sunday in Detroit. Assuming he's cleared on the Panthers' final Week 12 injury report, he'll look to extend his streak with multiple touchdown passes to 10 games Sunday versus the…read more

Seemingly not bothered by ankle
Newton (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: The Panthers routinely limit Newton's workload to start practice weeks in an attempt to reduce stress on his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. He missed a few snaps after hurting his ankle during Sunday's 20-19 loss to Detroit, but that issue isn't the cause of his limitations Wednesday. Newton should be his usual productive self Week 12 against the Seahawks, looking to continue a streak of nine consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes. He has been unusually quiet in the rushing…read more

Throws three touchdowns in loss
Newton completed 25 of 37 passes for 357 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Panthers' 20-19 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed twice for two yards.
Analysis: Newton survived a rare injury scare in the third quarter, when he went down awkwardly after being hit in the pocket late in the third quarter and was subsequently sidelined temporarily with a left ankle injury. However, he returned to the game and managed a season-high passing yardage total while equaling a high-water mark in touchdown passes as well. Conversely, the 29-year-old signal-caller's rushing yardage was a season-low figure, and he's now rushed for just 12 yards over his last two…read more

Returns to game
Newton (left ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Lions, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sunday afternoon was an eventful one for a number of NFL QBs, including Washington's Alex Smith, who suffered what looked like a bad ankle injury against the Texans. Fortunately for the Panthers and those who rely on Newton in fantasy lineups, Carolina's franchise signal-caller avoided a major injury in Week 11.

Newton (shoulder) doesn't have a designation on the Panthers' final injury report for Sunday's game in Detroit.
Analysis: The Panthers continue to limit Newton's reps in an effort to maintain the health of his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. He returned to full practice participation Friday and shouldn't have any issues Sunday in a dome game against a Lions defense ranked 31st in yards allowed per pass attempt (8.9) this season.

Estimated as limited participant
The Panthers estimated Newton (shoulder) as a limited participant for Thursday's practice, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Due to rainy weather in the area, Carolina opted for a walk-through session rather than a true practice. As a result, Newton didn't receive his planned allotment of reps, though coach Ron Rivera suggested that the health of the quarterback's right shoulder isn't a real concern heading into Sunday's matchup with Detroit. Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer, Rivera said Newton would have thrown Thursday if the team practiced, so expect the signal-caller to simply push that activity…read more

Newton (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Throws pair of touchdowns in blowout loss
Newton completed 23 of 29 passes for 193 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Panthers' 52-21 loss to the Steelers on Thursday. He also rushed twice for 10 yards and fumbled once, but it was recovered.
Analysis: Newton did what he could to keep the Panthers in the contest, but his defense simply couldn't keep up with the juggernaut that was the Steelers offense. Newton also faced heavy pressure throughout the night, as he took five sacks and was hit on seven occasions overall. He did connect with Christian McCaffrey for two more touchdowns through the air, as the pair continues to develop an excellent rapport in the passing game. Newton also extended his rather curious streak of two-touchdown games to…read more

Ready for Thursday
Newton (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game at Pittsburgh, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton went through the typical maintenance routine for his right (throwing) shoulder this week, logging back-to-back limited sessions before practicing in full Wednesday. With his status cleared, he'll focus on exploiting a Steelers defense that has allowed 278.6 passing yards per game and a 17:5 TD:INT ratio to quarterbacks this season through eight games.

Practices in limited fashion
Newton (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: It's believed that Newton's restrictions were strictly for maintenance purposes with the Panthers facing a quick turnaround between games in Week 10. Newton required surgery for his right shoulder following the 2016 campaign, but it hasn't prevented him from starting the Panthers' last 24 regular-season contests. That streak seems at little risk of coming to an end Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Limited at walkthrough Monday
Newton (shoulder) was limited at Monday's walkthrough, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: For a third consecutive week, Newton has kicked it off with a "limited" appearance in practice with the intent to avoid any undue stress on his right throwing shoulder. Under this "new normal," as coach Ron Rivera has called it, Newton has been cleared to play well before kickoff, so expect the same to occur this week as the Panthers prepare for a Thursday night showdown with the Steelers' 21st-ranked pass defense (257.6 yards per game).

Throws for pair of scores in win
Newton completed 19 of 25 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Panthers' 42-28 win over the Buccaneers. He also rushed 11 times for 33 yards.
Analysis: The Panthers' first three touchdowns came on the ground, as Christian McCaffrey found the end zone on two short touchdown runs and Curtis Samuel scored on a long winding scamper of 30 yards on a reverse. Newton then broke the ice himself with a 17-yard touchdown throw to Greg Olsen shortly before halftime before adding a 19-yard scoring strike to Curtis Samuel in the fourth quarter. The eight-year veteran has thrown multiple touchdowns in all but the opener this season, and he's now been…read more

Puts in full practice Thursday
Newton (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Newton kickstarted an amended practice regimen last week, getting listed as limited both Wednesday and Thursday before the Panthers cleared him Friday. On this occasion, he followed up Wednesday's limited session by handling every practice rep Thursday. With the health of his right throwing shoulder not in question, Newton can prepare for a juicy matchup Sunday against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed a 300-yard passer five times and a 20:1 TD:INT in seven games this season.
