hotfuns The Carolina Panthers have confirmed that quarterback Cam Newton underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder, raising concerns that he may not make it to the 2019 season and the team could be doomed.
The club said in a statement that the one-time former MVP would immediately begin rehabilitation, but could not say when he would be able to return to football activities, with the earliest estimate being around May. hotfuns
Newton missed the final two games of the season with a shoulder injury that began in the second half of the season. He said in December that the injury would not go away with physical therapy and would require surgery.
The one-time MVP and three-time Pro Bowl winner is coming off his eighth career season, completing 67.9 percent of his passes for 3,395 yards and 24 touchdowns, with 13 interceptions, while rushing for 488 yards and four scores in 14 games.
Another example of a player who had shoulder surgery took years to recover and get back to being great is Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who had shoulder surgery and missed the entire 2017 season. He didn’t really get back on track until the middle of the 2018 season. ( hotfuns )
