CHARLOTTE — Cam Newton started his weekly Wednesday press conference with a fib.
“It feels great,” Newton said when asked about how his right throwing shoulder felt. “Taking it day by day. It’ll be ready to go by Sunday.”
It can’t feel great, and the evidence is there on tape. But Newton opened up in the next 13 minutes. He didn’t exactly detail his ailments—yes, multiple—but he admitted that he’s not close to 100% healthy and can’t make the throws he’s used to making.
“Just got to live with it. Father Time ain’t nobody’s friend,” Newton said.
