Carolina's star quarterback is going under the knife.
Cam Newton will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder to repair a partially torn rotator cuff on March 30, the Panthers announced Tuesday.
"It is well-documented and well-researched that overhead throwing athletes commonly have wear and tear to their rotator cuffs," head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion said. "As a result of the MRI, we modified all of Cam's work in the weight room and on the field for the final three weeks of the season."
Around the NFL will have more on this story shortly.
