You gotta put him on IR...

fug.

Who gives a fug about the playoffs at this point. He has been hurt most of the season and now this.

[Growl]

A quick google of "transverse process fracture" makes it look like it's no biggie long term. Not sure about the short term though.

It's good no one was in the passenger seat (or so I believe), looks like that side took the majority of the force. Very lucky.

fugkkkkkk. Get well soon Cam. Football is secondary right now. Hope he makes a quick recovery. As other have said its the same injury Romo has apparently. Hopefully it's not a season ending type thing. Looks like Baylors QB has the same thing too....both were back after missing 1 game.

No more tests scheduled for today. #panthers understandably not willing to speculate extent and what this means football-wise.

Before you assume this is just like Romo, don't assume every BACK FRACTURE is the same.

Goddamn it

Romo played with it, and whoever Baylor's quarterback is had it and missed one game and played the next week with it. Not neccesairly the end of his season.

[CamMoon]

IR him. Nothing else to talk about.

This is the best possible back injury you can have.  Cam will be back after the Bucs game.  Romo had the exact same injury earlier this season.  So did Baylor QB Bryce Petty, and they both sat out 1 game.  Great news.

Has to be done for the year and should be. This season is just cursed. Rest, get better and start over next year.
