https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/David-Mayo-Jersey , N.C. (AP) — Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has opted for surgery to repair his ailing right throwing shoulder.The team announced Newton had an "arthroscopic procedure" on Thursday and that he will begin the rehabilitation process immediately. There is no timetable listed for when he can begin throwing again.The Panthers also said the procedure was successfully performed by team physician Pat Connor. Carolina still has not disclosed the exact nature of Newton's shoulder injury. The quarterback also had surgery in March of 2017 to repair a partially torn rotator cuff.Newton struggled all season with right shoulder problems that limited his ability to throw the ball downfield. On several occasions the Panthers substituted backup Taylor Heinicke to throw Hail Mary passes because of Newton's lack of arm strength.Panthers coach Ron Rivera decided to hold Newton out of the final two games of the 2018 regular season with what the team deemed "shoulder soreness."After Carolina's 12-9 loss to the Saints on Dec. 17, Newton expressed frustration over not knowing what it would take to fix the shoulder."When you talk to different people who can help you with it, there's not any magical surgery or whatever. It's just time," Newton said at the time. "I've tried and done everything."Newton said at the time he had taken anti-inflammatories, got massages and tried acupuncture.At that time he said doctors couldn't say if he needed surgery."I've been eager to go to (head trainer Ryan Vermillion's) office

Newton said. "… It is what it was, just a lot of soreness and tension in the joints."The decision to have surgery was made earlier this week by the team and Newton's camp.The Panthers finished 7-9 in 2018 and out of playoff contention after starting the season 6-2.The 29-year-old Newton threw for 3,385 passing yards with 24 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, but struggled mightily down the stretch and was a mere shell of his former self in the final few games he played. He barely practiced at all during the second half of the season, which appeared to throw off his timing with his receivers.Panthers owner David Tepper said last week that he wasn't sure when Newton would be back on the field

Luck sat out a season because of a shoulder injury and returned to lead the Colts to the playoffs this season."If you told me that (Newton) took a year off and could be fully recovered and everything else and that's what it took, an extra year, why wouldn't you do that?" Tepper said. "Now, we would have to do other things and we'd have to go out and get another quarterback, which

In the macro view, the fact that Panthers quarterback Cam Newton didn’t want to throw a Hail Mary聽yesterday is probably the bigger deal.But the play backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke made in a whirlwind of activity before halftime of their win against the Ravens deserves noting, if only because of the sheer volume of stuff he was dealing with.The Panthers were about to try to heave it to the end zone

So Heinicke was called in by coach Ron Rivera and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner, and given instructions to make his second career NFL pass attempt.鈥淥h my God, it was chaotic,” Heinicke said

With the Ravens blitzing to try to disrupt the play

Olsen recognized the blitz when he saw Ravens pass-rusher Terrell Suggs creep toward the line, and started yelling at Heinicke to change the play.鈥淚 look up and I see eight guys running at me,鈥?Heinicke said. 鈥淎nd [Olsen] is screaming at the top of his lungs. So I gave it to him. . . .鈥淭hat鈥檚 something you really can鈥檛 coach or prepare for. We鈥檙e glad it happened. . . . I was ready to just throw it as far as I could and hopefully someone came down with it in the end zone. But it kind of worked out better. Because the chances of that were slim.鈥漈he one play he asked out from didn’t detract from a brilliant day by Newton, whose last five quarters have been MVP-level. And the fact they have a backup with enough awareness to make the smart play instead of the heroic one is another good sign for the Panthers.
