Newton has been out since week 2 with Lisfranc injury that still has not healed properly. This statement was released by the Panthers GM.
“For the past seven weeks, Cam has diligently followed a program of rest and rehab and still is experiencing pain in his foot,” general manager Marty Hurney said.
Newton is weighing his option after meeting with renowned foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Newton is reportedly frustrated with how slow the injury is healing.
In his two games in 2019, Newton completed 50-of-89 passes for 572 yards and no touchdown passes with one interception while rushing five times for -2 yards.
