NOV. 3: Dr. Anderson did not recommend surgery for Newton, as Rapoport (video link) and David Newton of ESPN.com report. That’s obviously good news, but there is still no timetable for Newton’s return, and Rapoport says the Panthers may end up putting their star QB on IR.
NOV. 1: Panthers quarterback Cam Newton isn’t recovering from his sprained foot as quickly as he hoped (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Newton will visit Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Friday to learn more about his situation and figure out why his condition hasn’t improved. 
At this point, playing football is a long way off, Rapoport hears. So far, Newton hasn’t been able to do much more than basic rehab for his injury.
Newton’s pain and limited mobility was apparent to anyone watching him play this season. His frustrations have been apparent, as well. When Newton took to YouTube in late September to discuss his injury, he admitted that he rushed himself back too soon in order to play in the 2019 season opener.
“I’ve decided I will take time away from the game,” Newton said. “This is me being the bigger person and being real with myself and saying, ‘Look, what’s the ultimate goal you’re trying to accomplish? Win the Super Bowl. OK, if you want to win the Super Bowl, this is the step you’ve got to take.’
“It could very well be a week. Or two weeks. It could be three weeks, it could be four weeks, it could be six weeks. But I have to understand and know if it takes that time, I trust in this team that they will — we will — still be in a great situation by the time I get back.”
Meanwhile, fill-in Kyle Allen has done quite well, for the most part. Before his rocky outing against the 49ers, Allen completed 65.6% of his passes with a 7-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio in four starts. He’ll get start No. 6 this week against the Titans on Sunday.
Or maybe 16 weeks. Keep cashing those checks, Cam. I don’t think his heart is in the game anymore, which is fine. I think he’ll hang them up well soon & call it a football life. Heisman, NFL MVP and SB trip; not bad resume.
Hell latch on for the money.
He deserves every penny. And his salary is insured in case of injury.
Was the setback a wardrobe malfunction?
He is breaking down no way he sees another super bowl. He blew his only chance.
Vagina injury?
Go away and become a hat designer. Still paying my bookie from super bowl loss.
His “setback” began when he didn’t jump on that fumble in the SB.
Met him in person during the offseason – must have taken lessons from Barry Bonds on fan interaction…
I’ll never judge a guy based on fan interaction. I can’t imagine living my life in public with every idiot who recognizes me wanting to shake my hand, put his arm around me, and take a selfie. It’s flaterring when you first make it big, but after about the thousandth idiot, I’d lose my fan-interaction skills too.
I will however judge him on his clothes lol so i’m still on your side Iron.
Yes being bothered by the thousandth idiot, those same idiots that help pay for that lifestyle that you don’t wanna be interrupted during. You can’t have it both ways.
Of course you’re speaking from experience, right?
I’ve never met him, but I know a few who have. Generally speaking, you don’t want someone to walk away from meeting you and question why exactly they were excited to meet you.
Um, it was the off-season – no one else around, in a non-NFL city, not with his family, just his posse, and didn’t take 2 minutes to take a pic with a 12 year old who’s now FORMER fan of his. He wasn’t in a rush and just laughed – who’s laughing now…

‘Feets’ ain’t nuthin’ ta mess with or rush back from, Cam. Jack Lambert had to retire from turf toe. Feet bear the weight of our whole body. Been there, done had feet miseries myself. Sore feet isn’t fun and seemingly take forever to heal.
Please don’t compare a beast like Jack Lambert to this clown.
That setback is named Kyle Allen
Closest he’ll ever get to a Lombardi is right now. Since he’s in Green Bay he can take a Lambeau Field tour and look at the 4 of them in person.
Isn’t it 5 Lombardi trophies?
No just 4.
Since his career is all but over why not come out of the closet now? You could be first at something like the first gay male to play on a pro team. I may be sheltered or uninformed but I don’t see a straight man wearing scarves like my mom and grandma did after having their hair done. Then the rest of his outfits not many men I know would wear them if any. Again could be sheltered but come on man. Some of the hats were cool some odd. Some of the clothes same. I say go away and do what you want to do design clothes or model them FB career as a starter is over. Anyone thinks he takes a backup gig?
So Robbie Anderson got upset that the Jets tried to trade him and is now working as a doctor in Green Bay? Why didn’t PFR have an alert on that?
Never met a person named Robert who went by Robbie, or was even called that.
Robbie Gould?
Unless, you’ve never met him. Then your statement is still truthful
Imagine trying this hard to make this bad of a joke.
Should have been done a long time ago. The man is hurting…
