Panthers QB Cam Newton to meet with specialist over sprained foot

Cam Newton’s foot injury is not recovering as expected, so the team and their star quarterback have decided to get a second opinion.

The Panthers confirmed that Newton will be visiting foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay to get a further understanding about the severity of his sprained foot.

The 30-year old hasn’t played since the team’s 20-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 on September 12th.

The three-time Pro Bowler is in his ninth season with the franchise after being selected first overall in the 2011 NFL Draft.

He has completed 49 of 88 pass attempts, thrown for 349 passing yards and accumulated two touchdowns in his two games this season.

The Panthers have gone 4-1 since he’s been out.
