CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said in a vlog released Friday that he was hiding just how much his left foot sprain was hurting prior to the season and that he won't return to the field until it is 100 percent healed.
Newton, who appeared in the video smoking a cigar and drinking a glass of wine, confirmed he suffered a mild Lisfranc sprain in the third preseason game against the New England Patriots and aggravated it in a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.
