CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury on Cam Newton's left foot was successful and the quarterback is recovering in his hometown of Atlanta, interim Carolina Panthers coach Perry Fewell said on Wednesday.
Newton underwent the surgery on Monday by Dr. Martin O'Malley, an orthopedic specialist based in New York City.
"I can tell you it was successful and he's back home in Atlanta rehabbing,'' Fewell said. "Everything looked good from that standpoint, and that is about as much as I know.''
Fewell said he has not spoken to Newton and did not indicate whether it was abnormal for Newton to rehab in Atlanta instead of Charlotte.
