CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The images of Cam Newton landing on his head on the seventh play of Friday's 25-14 preseason win against New England are scary.
His head is cocked awkwardly to the side as it strikes the ground so hard after landing his 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame on a dive for a first down that his helmet slammed over his face and left him with a shiner on his left eye.
The images of the Carolina Panthers quarterback heading into the sideline tent to be evaluated for a concussion also are scary.
