But hold on a second....if the foot is not getting any better then why has he started sprinting on a treadmill and working out in practice without the boot?  Why did he make the trip to San Fran and stand on the sidelines if the foot has not gotten any better?

Big difference between getting well enough to run and stand around on it and taking 15-20 hits and making lateral cuts in an nfl game.  He’s probably gotten better, but not NFL better.

I’m going to guess he is going to get it looked over but I don’t buy it hasn’t improved at all. That’s just drumming up drama to drive clicks I guarantee it.

Either way why he wasn’t seeing the top foot doctor to begin with speaks to our poo medical staff who we’ve seen countless times fug up with how they handle players here

You can do stuff like that without being in good enough shape to play a football game.

I've been expecting him to return for the Packers game. The word we got in the last few days that he still isn't practicing made me question that.

Now this?

Sh-t.

Who said he didn't?

Yeah, but Rappaport just said the foot "hasnt gotten any better".

a whole testament to the coaching staff and medical team on their inability to function as a coherent unit in protecting their franchise qb. what a freaking joke.

What on earth are you blathering about now?

Newton himself said the injury occurred on a play he was trying to extend and shouldn't have...in preseason. 

Never mind...there's no rationalizing with fan boys.

I’m going to guess since this is the first time a beat reporter said anything it’s the first time it happened you know how they are every little thing is news to them.

Cam's not the future. 2016/2017 killed him. The clock started ticking when Wade figured out refs wouldn't protect him. 

This team has been getting the doors blown off too often with and without Newton the last couple of seasons. Whatever happens with Newton, there's no reality I want to see where this staff returns in 2020.

Lol wut?

 

Every team has 53 players on the active roster who could at any minute suffer a game ending, season ending, or career ending injury. 
 

You post this stuff but don’t show HOW the team failed, instead resort to reactionary and dramatic tirades against the people who know better than most the ins and outs of managing a football team.

Let’s wait and see. It did cost Greg a season. He tried to come back and injured it again. I’m sure Cam is trying to avoid that. 
 

This is good/bad news. It’s good in the sense that he’s doing everything to make sure he’s actually 100% before returning.

Technically, as far as his ability to play football, it hasn't.

Yeah, I think we won't see him this year

LaCanfora suggested a while back that his return was still several weeks away, and that was before this latest news.

I hadn't really entertained the idea that he wouldn't come back this season yet.

I'm starting to consider it now.

Right?  Its not the teams fault Cam hurt his foot, and its not the teams fault hes not healing like they wanted.  Sometimes this poo happens.  Foot injuries are notoriously difficult.  All we need do is look at another member of the team with the same injury in Olsen to see how that works.

so think about how your foot is going to strike while running, or the pressure it's going to feel on a bike. Standing is nothing, force is primarily distributed on your heel and your metatarsals just kinda balance you. 

everything is very linear stress wise. so the bones are basically pointing forward and back. That's a very specific kind of strain, and one he might be able to tolerate depending on the fracture. 

What cam was doing was seeing if the injury responded to conservative treatment. Anything he can do to increase the bloodflow can help with that. The biggest problem about foot injuries is depending on the place (lisfranc) is there isn't good blood flow there so things take a while to heal. The other big problem is that these bones rebreak very easily (greg olsen). 

So while Cam might feel good enough to run in a straight forward direction, or ride a bike, moving as a qb in the pocket? all different kinds of pain and strain. And now he's going to a specialist to get either the bad news or the hail mary options. 

Cam's not playing this year. He was never going to play this year. Hurney handled this injury the exact same way he handled Jake's in 2007. 

And Cam will either completely renegotiate his contract after this season or be cut or retire.
