eta* ESPN reports it is to tighten ligaments and that recovery time is four months. Should be ready for the start of camp.

Soooo...what other playoff teams from last year won't be making it this year?

Not like he had anyone to throw to anyway. Damn shame for Carolina fans.

...but he'll miss all of mini-camps. Whatever the Vegas line is now on the Panthers' wins for 2014, I'll take the under.

So when Cam comes back, will he have somebody to throw to?

He's going to miss valuable OTA practices with all of his new WRs.

Nice, so much for getting a chance to develop some early chemistry with the whole new WR corps he's going to have. He won't even throw a pass to any of them until July.

Here are the predicted 2014 NFL win totals

Well now, what is going on in Charlotte.

"Oh hey Panther fans, didn't we mention it? That's weird, coulda sworn we said something about Cam's ankle injury... ."

Let's guess - this news came out after season ticket package subscriptions were mailed out?

Carolina should get around to signing some WRs right about then.

When doctors operate on Cam Newton's ankle Wednesday, they will NOT be inserting a wide receiver.

The one warming up his arm, or a different one?

As soon as he started smacking the camera, I couldn't watch it anymore. I don't think I ever acted that way as a kid to my parents.

And get off of my lawn!

Why hurry. I say wait until final cuts before Week 1 to find your two starters. Make it fun!

The crying kid doesn't care about the Panthers any more, he's done with them with Smith gone! LOL. It's his little sister who kept talking up Cam and will need to be consoled this time. BTW, did you hear Steve Smith was on Twitter asking for help finding the crying kid so he could talk to him? I thought that was cool.

He hooked up with the Dad. Smith is going to visit with him when he comes back to town and give the kids dome goodies.

Just keeps getting better every minute.

 

[SayWhat?]

Cam and Stewart rehabbing their grandma ankles together. Awesome.

 

[KellysHeroes]

i'm guessing they'll be signing Holmes soon

#Panthers announced that no further issues found in Cam Newton's surgery today. 4 months recovery is still expected.

downgrades Carolina in a whole. the defense will not be anywhere near as successful as last season avoid at all costs

Based on what? The front 7 returns intact and it is widely acknowledged as the strength of the defense.

doesn't help if theyre constantly on the field because the offense goes 3&out

Perhaps. But of course the Panthers will have receivers. And they still have their leading receiver from last year on the team.

Bump Cam, they just signed Cotchery.
