They should be careful and sit him until week 2

Ron Rivera says Cam Newton is in a walking boot. Doesn’t know severity of injury because he won’t ask trainers until after meeting w media.

We’ll have to see what Rivera and the Panthers disclose if anything this weekend, but there’s no requirement to disclose anything. The first injury report isn’t due until Wednesday prior to Week 1 in less than two weeks.The early word on #Panthers QB Cam Newton, who left the preseason game with a foot injury: It doesn’t appear to be serious, source said. Newton left in a walking boot, which can be used as a precaution. He may get tests tomorrow, regardless.

HOF post.Cam playing on one leg is basically pouring gravy on him and telling Aaron Donald it's dinner time.
I’ve never been the biggest Cam Newton fan. He’s always been too “pouty” for me.
Laughing one minute. Hanging his head the next.
I can see it now... he just came off shoulder surgery, with this ankle injury... If Carolina gets off to slow start... wouldn’t surprise me if he pouts the season away.
Did I say I wasn’t a fan?
TE Jordan Reed was also removed from the game due to concussion which is the seventh of his career.

Cam Newton out of walking boot
Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said on Saturday that he expected quarterback Cam Newton back on the field soonafter he sprained his foot in last Thursday’s game against New England and Sunday brought reason to believe that will be the case.
Multiple reporters at the Panthers facility reported that Newton is out of the walking boot that he’d been wearing since suffering the injury.
“It means he’s progressing,” Rivera said, via Jourdan Rodrigue of TheAthletic.com.
Rodrigue reported on Saturday that Newton could do something in practice on Monday. Sunday’s development makes that and Newton’s availability for Week One seem like pretty solid bets, although one would imagine the Panthers will be cautious in order to make sure all remains well with the quarterback.
