A lot has happened for Cam Newton since the last time he appeared in an NFL game.
The day was September 12, 2019, and the Carolina Panthers fell to 0-2 on the season thanks to a 20-14 home loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Newton would not play the following weeks due to a foot injury before eventually being placed on injured reserve in November. Four months later, the Panthers released Newton. Three months after that, he joined the New England Patriots competing for their starting quarterback position.
On Sunday, 367 days after last setting foot on the field, he will make his return.
