Cam Newton not at practice today.

[Black&BlueBubba]

He hasn’t been right since preseason game.  Looks like McVay has the right plan for the preseason.  

We could be 0-4 after the Texans game. 

RR might not even make a the trip to London.

I honestly can’t really see Cam ever saying he can’t or won’t play. He is far too competitive to let a minor injury keep him off the field if he can possibly be out there. No I do feel like Ron has taken advantage of that and played him when he should have sat him for Cam’s own good but I don’t think Cam has ever not wanted to play.

What if it's not a minor injury?

It's not a question of Newton's competitive spirit, but I think we all believe that Rivera would trot him out there like the Black Knight in Monty Python if needed.

If Newton genuinely decided that he was too hurt to play even if leadership wanted him to, I can't really say I'd blame him. Certainly wouldn't think ill of him.

Saw this tidbit and figured it explains Cams absence

If it really is his foot then that is definitely minor. I know you really don’t like Ron, understandably I might add, but he isn’t Bud Kilmer.

Probably shouldn't have started the season. Shouldn't have played until his foot 100% healed.

Not being at practice at all is a very bad sign

[Bartin]

Since when do we practice on Tuesday btw? Related to having a TNF game the week before?

A foot injury isn't necessarily minor for any quarterback, but we're talking about a quarterback who runs here.

Foot injuries are probably never 100% healed.

[Raleigh PF]

Maybe I just don't understand. 

Thursday: Cam tells the team he re-aggravated his foot injury.

Also Thursday: Okay, everyone take the next four days off.

So, they expect Allen will be good to go a week of practice? No need to change the game plan, even though Allen and Newton are not the same type of QB? 

[Seoul_Panther]

Pretty awful news however you want to spin it. Not Many positives. Team needs a result or the season could go bad very quickly.

If you're starting from the premise that our team leadership typically makes good, logical decisions, I think I can tell you where the problem is.
