Browns remain wary of Cam Newton despite sore shoulder

The Cleveland Browns may be catching break on Sunday when they host the Carolina Panthers at FirstEnergy Stadium.

The Panthers come into the game riding a four-game losing streak and with starting quarterback Cam Newton sporting a sore right shoulder that has coincided with Carolina’s fading playoff hopes.

While Newton and the team has been putting on a good front about the extent of the injury, the results speak for themselves, as Jonathan Jones at si.com pointed out this week:

In last week’s loss to Tampa Bay, Newton was subbed out for backup Taylor Heinicke for a second time this season to throw a Hail Mary.
