A report confirmed a Lisfranc injury, consistent with what we’ve been saying here on the website for a while. The injury itself has not changed, but the Panthers attitude towards the injury has. It’s common for a player to be at 85% and play through the injury. At this point, with Kyle Allen’s strong performance, Panthers are indicating they want Newton at 100% before he returns. Lisfranc injuries can linger and if Coach Ron Rivera is truly waiting for him to be 100% before a return that could easily be four to six weeks. Obviously the Panthers attitude can change depending on Allens‘ performances going forward.
