Cam Newton had himself a rough outing during tonight’s preseason game against the New England Patriots.
Not only was Cam sacked several times early on by the Pats defense but he was also forced to leave the game after awkwardly landing on his foot while scrambling.
The #Patriots Defense will be elite this season.

After the game, Panthers coach Ron Rivera was asked about if Cam would be ready for week one and he said that he wasn’t sure.
Ron Rivera couldnât say whether Cam Newton is still on track to play Week 1. Will meet with medical staff after press conference.

Ron Rivera says Cam Newton is in a walking boot but didnât provide more details. Says he doesnât ask for injury details until after he meets with the media so he hasnât gotten that far yet.
