Preseason football is terrible and it must be stopped. The Panthers have pulled starting quarterback Cam Newton from tonight’s game against the Patriots after he suffered a foot injury.
Newton has historically done well against New England, but he did not have a fun go of it tonight. He was harassed by pass rushers, and his receivers were unable to get open. Cam exited the game having gone 4 of 6 for 30 yards. He took two sacks for 17 yards lost, including the one that knocked him out of the game.
The Patriots lead 7-0 early in the second quarter. Kyle Allen has come in to replace Newton at quarterback.
Update:
The official word is Cam Newton suffered a mid-foot sprain. The team is optimistic about him playing Week 1.
