Cam Newton took a pretty nasty shot to the head during the Carolina Panthers’ Thursday Night Football contest against the New Orleans Saints.
Suffice to say, Newton is the center piece of that Panthers offense. Taking any shot like that is scary for coaches and fans. A lot of times we talk about smaller, more athletic quarterbacks and wonder if they can stay healthy in the NFL.
We didn’t question that with Newton coming out of Auburn. He’s just so darn big. But a shot to the head is an equalizer. It just doesn’t matter how strong you are at that point.
He should be fine and didn’t come out of the game. But Newton might want to think about sliding in the future.
Later in the game, Newton started spitting up blood. It’s unclear if that was due to the shot in the head he took. Still, though. Dang. Spitting up blood is never a good sign.
The Panthers and Saints are tied after one quarter.
