Cam Newton dealing with soreness in throwing shoulder

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is experiencing soreness in his throwing shoulder.

According to Panthers coach Ron Rivera, Newton was limited in practice on Wednesday with what he referred to as “general soreness.”

Rivera added that Newton is worn down, and will get regular days off, which is not a new thing for him.

RR says on Cam shoulder: The guy played a heck of a fourth quarter. Kinda sore, tired.

Ron Rivera says Panthers will likely give Cam Newton a day a week to take fewer throws for his general well-being. Much like last season.

Issues with his throwing shoulder are not really new for Newton. This one doesn’t sound exceptionally serious, and he appears to still be on track to play Sunday.
