Cam Newton endured an entire preseason and training camp without regularly throwing the football following rotator cuff surgery in March, prior to the 2017 season. He didn’t miss any games, beginning last year with two touchdown passes and 25 attempts in the opener before leading the Carolina Panthers back to playoffs. Following a healthy offseason, expectations for Newton were high entering 2018 but after six games it appears his injury may be flaring up again.
Newton has not been throwing during the portion of practice open to the media this week and found himself on the injury report for the first time this season.
