CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers, seeing no clear timetable for Cam
Newton to return from a foot injury, on Tuesday placed their franchise
quarterback on season-ending injured reserve.

Newton aggravated the Lisfranc injury, originally sustained in the third
preseason game, in a Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay. He has not markedly improved
from rehabilitation.

After Newton visited with foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson on Friday in
Green Bay, Wisconsin, management decided it would be best for the quarterback
and the team to shut down Newton, the 2015 NFL MVP, for the rest of the
season.

"For the past seven weeks, Cam has diligently followed a program of rest and
rehab and still is experiencing pain in his foot," general manager Marty
Hurney said in a statement. "He saw two foot specialists last week who agreed
that he should continue that path prescribed by the team's medical staff and
that it likely will take significant time for the injury to fully heal.

"We have said all along that it is impossible to put a timetable on this
injury. Nobody is more frustrated with that fact than Cam.''

Before this injury, the first pick of the 2011 draft had missed only three
starts in seven years.

On Tuesday afternoon, Newton responded to an Instagram post by the Panthers,
saying that "Charlotte & @panthers will forever be in my heart !! I will work
my tail off to be stronger, faster, SMARTER, AND ACCURATER for you guys !!
until then I will continue to support the hell out of the @panthers and for
@kyle_allen and @willgrier7 !!"

The Panthers will move forward with second-year undrafted quarterback Kyle
Allen, who is 5-1 as the starter this season and 6-1 in his career. Newton
had lost eight straight games dating back to last season.

Newton, 30, has one year left on his contract. He is scheduled to count $21.1
million against the 2020 salary cap. Should the team decide to move on from
him after this season, it would clear $19.1 million in cap space.

Newton leads the Panthers in career touchdown passes (182) and rushing
touchdowns (58). He is the first quarterback in NFL history with at least 50
rushing touchdowns, the most in league history.

He is third on the NFL's all-time rushing list for quarterbacks with 4,806
yards. Michael Vick leads the way with 6,109, followed by Randall Cunningham
with 4,928.

"He's one of the fiercest competitors I've been around during my 20-plus
years in the league,'' Hurney said. "At this time, we have decided that the
best decision to reach the goal of bringing the foot back to 100 percent is
to place Cam on injured reserve."
