When Carolina Panther’s Cam Newton went down with a foot injury in mid-September, it was expected he will miss a couple of weeks while recovering. But seven weeks later, Newton is still sidelined, and reportedly he isn’t even close to returning to the field.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Friday that Newton’s recovery isn’t going as expected and that his foot isn’t getting better despite the 30-year-old being in limited activity and not playing football. According to Rapoport, Newton will now visit renowned foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in order to try and see why he isn’t recovering.

After missing two games last season with a shoulder injury, Cam Newton recovered in time to start the 2019 season. However, he struggled in Week 1 and 2, completing 56.2 percent of his passes for 572 and no touchdowns. Newton ended up sitting out the Week 3 games, and it was later revealed that he has been dealing with a foot injury since training camp and that he was diagnosed with Lisfranc fracture.

After Newton went down, second-year QB Kyle Allen took over the starting job. Allen was off to a great start, winning the first four games, and even sparking a debate that he should be Carolina’s quarterback moving forward regardless of Newton’s recovery.

Allen led the Panthers to 4-1 record in his first five starts, throwing for 1,059 yards, seven TDs, and three interceptions.

Carolina Panthers’ Cam Newton might be joining the long list of veteran quarterbacks who won’t be on the field for Week 3. Panthers confirmed on Tuesday that Newton aggravated the left foot injury, with NFL network reporting that this could cause him to miss the Sunday’s game against Arizona Cardinals.

Newton, who suffered the initial injury in the preseason, felt his foot was “sore” during the Week 2 loss against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The issue made him miss Tuesday and Wednesday’s practices while he is reportedly still in the walking boot.

Panthers, however, aren’t willing to reveal much detail at the moment. The team’s general manager Marty Hurney told The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue that there is currently no timetable for the 30-year-old signal-caller and that his status is day-to-day.

After missing the last two games of 2018 with a shoulder injury, Cam Newton looked quite rusty entering this season. In the first two games, he completed just 55.7 percent of his passes while throwing for 563 yards. The alarming thing, however, was that he failed to score a single touchdown and has negative two yards rushing.

If Newton doesn’t recover in time, Panthers, who are currently 0-2, will probably roll with second-year QB Kyle Allen on Sunday. Allen played two games in his rookie season and managed to complete 64.5 percent of his passes for 266 yards and two TDs.

It seems like Carolina Panthers could get their star quarterback Cam Newton back earlier than expected. Newton, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in January, recently said that he is pleased with the rehab process and that he thinks he could start throwing the football in time for the training camp.

“I’m feeling great now,” – Newton told ESPN in an interview. “I feel like I do have full strength right now. But me telling the doctor, that is different than, you know, whatever the clearance process may be.”

Newton entered the 2018 season in a great fashion and led the Panthers to a 6-2 record before starting to struggle with his shoulder. The team went on a seven-game losing streak after that, and the 2015 NFL MVP eventually was forced to sit out the final two games of the season due to injury.

While Newton isn’t sure when he will be cleared to play football again, he intends to strictly follow the rehab plan to be as ready as he can be for that moment.

“Rehab is going unbelievable, especially for me during a time now, a lot of uncertainty,” – he added. “For me, the human side of me is uncertain as well. But with the support cast from RV, the head trainer and other people that have been working with me hands on daily, I have no doubt I’ll be ready to rock and roll when they expect me to be back.”

Newton ended the 2018 NFL season by completing 67.9 percent of his passes for 3,395 yards and 24 touchdowns. He also rushed 488 yards and four touchdowns.
