  • Takes back seat in Week 3 win

    Newton completed 17 of 28 passes for 162 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Raiders. He also rushed nine times for 27 yards.

    Analysis: Newton's 11-yard touchdown pass to Rex Burkhead with 34 seconds left in the second quarter gave New England a 13-3 lead, but the advantage shrank to 13-10 by halftime. New England's ground game took over in the second half, but Newton wasn't a major part of it, as Sony Michel led the way with 117 rushing yards while Burkhead added two rushing touchdowns to his receiving score. While this was a disappointing step back for Newton after a pair of strong fantasy efforts to open his Patriots tenure,…read more

  • Big numbers in Week 2 loss

    Newton completed 30 of 44 pass attempts for 397 yards with one TD and a pick, while adding 11 carries for 47 yards and a pair of rushing scores in Sunday's 35-30 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: After attempting just 19 passes in Week 1's 21-11 win over Miami, the flow of Sunday's game led to a far different approach for Newton and the Patriots in Week 2. The result was a big fantasy effort for the QB, who fell just short of scoring a game-winning rushing TD on the final play of the contest. As long as he can avoid the sort of injuries that his style of play can sometimes lead to, Newton's dual-threat ability gives him weekly fantasy upside if he continues to click with his wideouts,…read more

  • Feels fine after Week 1 win

    When asked about grabbing his left hamstring as he walked off the field Sunday, Newton replied, "I'm great. Everything's good," Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: We'll have to see if Newton ends up listed on the Patriots' Week 2 injury report, but we're not concerned about his availability for next week's game against Seattle. In his first contest with New England, Newton completed 15 of 19 passes for 155 yards and logged 15 carries for 75 yards and a pair of TDs in Sunday's 21-11 win over the Dolphins. There will be weeks where Newton is asked to throw more, but from a fantasy perspective, the QB's usage in the team's ground game is encouraging, even…read more

  • Two rushing scores in Week 1 win

    Newton completed 15 of 19 passes for 155 yards and added 15 carries for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-11 win over Miami.

    Analysis: Newton did what he does best down by the goal line in the second quarter, scoring the game's first points with a four-yard touchdown run. He also scored with his legs from 11 yards out in the third quarter and added an efficient performance with his arm. Newton's heavy rushing volume should catapult him right back into the fantasy QB1 conversation moving forward despite the relative dearth of weapons in New England's passing attack. Up next for Newton is a high-profile showdown with Russell…read more

  • Named starting QB

    Newton has been named the Patriots' starting quarterback, Jim McBride of the Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, the decision was confirmed during a team meeting Thursday. This was an expected outcome, given how well Newton has reportedly adjusted to running the New England offense. With that, he'll be backed up by Jarrett Stidham, with Brian Hoyer likely to stick around as the team's third QB. When healthy, Newton is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback, and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels should find creative ways to take advantage of the 31-year-old's considerable talents, though it…read more

  • Doesn't assume he's the starter

    Newton said Wednesday that he isn't assuming that he's viewed as the Patriots' starting quarterback, even though he's been taking the majority of the first-team reps in recent practices, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. "Absolutely not," Newton said when, asked if he sees himself as the starter at this time. "Every day is a work day for me. That [starter] label is not important to me right now."

    Analysis: The consensus among the team's local beat writers is that Newton is pulling away in the Patriots' quarterback competition, an outcome that seemed probable from the moment the team signed him. Andrew Callahan the Boston Herald offered perhaps the most definitive statement Wednesday, relaying that "barring a miraculous upset or horrible injury, (Newton) should start Week 1 against Miami."

  • Starting job his to lose?

    The Patriots' starting quarterback job "is (Newton's) to lose," according to Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald.

    Analysis: There's a growing consensus among the the team's local beat writers that Newton is pulling away in the competition, with Jarrett Stidham's cause not aided by a hip issue that he's working through. Sunday's practice marked Newton's busiest yet with the Patriots in terms of team-portion snaps, with Callahan noting that Newton's "grasp at the controls of the Patriots offense is growing." In the event that Newton does secure the team's starting assignment, which is where things are clearly…read more

  • Favored to land starting job

    Newton "should be looked at as the favorite" to claim the Patriots' starting QB job, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Once the Patriots signed the accomplished signal-caller, it was assumed by many that he'd land the job. That said, the team wasn't inclined to simply hand the assignment to Newton, with a young QB that the coaching staff likes in Jarrett Stidham also in the mix, along with veteran journeyman Brian Hoyer. With Stidham now reportedly dealing with a hip issue that could slow him in practice, Newton may well pull away in the competition in the coming days.

  • Part of QB rotation Monday

    The Patriots split their QB reps during Monday's practice "fairly evenly" between Newton, Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Howe suggests that Stidham had the best day of the trio, though Mike Reiss of ESPN.com notes that "anyone that watched (the) practice would not have been able to clearly identify" the team's QB1, with "all getting equal reps." At this early stage of the team's on-field activities, the experience in the team's system that Stidham and Hoyer possess is a short-term advantage, but despite the ongoing narrative that the top job won't be handed to Newton, it would still be an upset if the newcomer…read more

  • Won't be handed starting job

    Coach Bill Belichick reiterated Friday that Newton will need to compete for the starting job, ESPN.com's Tim Keown reports.

    Analysis: Recently retired line coach Dante Scarnecchia believes Newton has a "huge edge," though Scarnecchia also said Jarrett Stidham is a "pretty good player" who makes a strong impression with his work ethic and intelligence. Newton combines those same qualities with superior physical skills, but he's struggled with injuries ever since his 2015 MVP campaign and now faces the challenge of learning a complicated playbook without the benefit of an offseason program or preseason games. Stidham, a 2019…read more

  • Gets only $550K guaranteed

    Newton's one-year contract with the Patriots includes only $550,000 guaranteed, with a $1.05 million base salary, $700,000 in per-game roster bonuses and $5.75 million in incentives, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The base value is essentially No. 3 QB money, while the max value is in high-end backup range. These contract details support recent reports suggesting Newton will need to earn the starting job, though he should have good odds in a competition with 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham and 34-year-old journeyman Brian Hoyer. Newton was medically cleared in late March after struggling with foot and shoulder injuries the past few seasons.

  • Not promised anything

    The Patriots haven't promised Newton a starting job, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Newton may not have gotten any guarantees, but he'll be the favorite to emerge from a competition with 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham and 34-year-old journeyman Brian Hoyer. The 2015 NFL MVP signed a one-year contact worth up to $7.5 million, hoping to repair his value after shoulder and foot injuries contributed to 16 missed games and uneven performance the past two seasons. Newton probably won't have great pass-catching weapons in New England, but he has a couple reliable possession…read more

  • Finds landing spot with Pats

    Newton has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Newton, who turned 31 last month, finally finds a home after he was released by the Panthers in March. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that his incentive-laden one-year deal is worth up to $7.5 million, and it seems likely the contract includes a small guaranteed amount. In any case, Newton will enter a nice situation to maximize his talents in New England, and his combination of talent and experience should make him the favorite to enter the season as the starter. However, sophomore…read more

  • Loses game of musical chairs

    Newton doesn't have a clear opportunity to sign with an NFL team as a starting quarterback, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers did Newton no favors in waiting until late March to release him. Tampa Bay and Indianapolis had already signed new starting QBs at that point, while other teams had used most of their cap space on free agents at different positions. The Chargers might have been Newton's best hope, but they've been saying good things about Tyrod Taylor and now have No. 6 overall draft pick Justin Herbert coming in. The Patriots and Jaguars also have been mentioned as possible fits, though they…read more

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Newton passed a physical examination Monday in Atlanta, with both his left foot and right shoulder checking out fine. Still, NFL suitors may want their own doctors to examine Newton, so it won't come as any surprise if he remains unsigned for a while.

    Newton (foot/shoulder) underwent a physical in Atlanta on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, Newton passed the physical -- which was coordinated by the Panthers and his agency team -- with his both his foot and shoulder "checking out well." This news follows reports that Carolina is expected to release the QB. Once that happens, Newton's passed physical should help him find a new team quicker than if there were looming questions regarding the soundness of his foot and/or shoulder.

There have been signs pointing toward a rebuilding project under a new coaching staff in Carolina, but there was also some thought that the team might take one last chance at competing for a playoff spot with an offense led by Newton, Christian McCaffrey and D.J.

    Analysis: There's some serious hedging language in the report, with Rapoport noting that "a lot can happen in the coming months," and also mentioning that Newton's foot is "several months" away from being game-ready. The Panthers expect their veteran QB to pass a physical in March, likely allowing for some degree of participation in the offseason program under new head coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Joe Brady.

  • Will likely be cleared in March

    The Panthers expect Newton (foot) to pass a physical and be ready to return to football activity in March, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The team also expressed that Newton will be eased back into action if he is indeed cleared after undergoing surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his left foot. Of course, there's no guarantee Newton will still be with the Panthers next month, as new coach Matt Ruhle and offensive coordinator Joe Brady may opt to cut or trade the 30-year-old quarterback -- they would save $19 million against the salary cap in 2020 -- and build around a younger signal-caller. This process could stretch into the…read more

  • May need to work out for team

    The Panthers want to see Newton (foot) work out on the field in March before they decide his future with the organization, Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: As a nine-year veteran with three Pro Bowl appearances and an MVP award, Newton would have every right to be annoyed about the team evaluating him on the basis of a workout that takes place four months after he underwent Lisfranc surgery. His rehab progress is only one part of the equation, as there's some thought new head coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Joe Brady would prefer to rebuild around a young quarterback even if Newton is deemed healthy. The decision also involves team…read more

    Newly hired coach Matt Rhule wouldn't comment on Newton's (foot) status with the Panthers moving forward at his introductory news conference Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rhule mentioned he had a conversation with Newton on Tuesday, saying the quarterback "didn't want to talk about the past. He wanted to talk about the future." Additionally, Rhule will defer to general manager Marty Hurney and owner David Tepper before making a final call on Newton, who has been plagued by injuries the past few seasons. At the moment, Newton is in recovery mode from a procedure to tighten the Lisfranc in his left foot. Of utmost importance, though, is the situation with his…read more

    Newton underwent surgery on the Lisfranc injury in his left foot Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: As Jourdan Rodrigue reported last week, the procedure was expected to be a "tightening of the Lisfranc area." With the surgery behind him, there's hope Newton will complete his rehab by the spring, per Person. His health aside, Newton's future with the Panthers is in question, as the team can save $19.1 million in salary cap space if it trades or releases the veteran signal-caller.

  • Surgery on tap next week

    Interim coach Perry Fewell confirmed Wednesday that Newton will undergo surgery next week to address the Lisfranc injury in his left foot, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A procedure has been hinted at since early November, so it seemed to be a matter of time before Newton went under the knife. According to Rodrigue, the surgery is "relatively simple," namely a "tightening of the Lisfranc area." Newton's recovery timeline is to be determined, but it could be as few as 8-to-10 weeks and as long as 6-to-9 months. Depending on how the rehab process treats Newton, he may be able to pass a physical when the new league year kicks off in early March. Notably, the…read more

    Analysis: Newton hasn't played since Week 2 and was placed on injured reserve Nov. 5. He should have time to recover from surgery before training camp next year, but his future with the Panthers remains uncertain, as 2020 marks the final season of his current contract. Newton will turn 31 in May, and the team can save $19.1 million in cap space if he's traded or released during the offseason, per OverTheCap.com.

    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

    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.

    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.

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.

  • 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.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the veteran quarterback's Lisfranc injury isn't improving as expected, prompting the trip to Green Bay.
