Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton gave his team an injury scare during Friday's preseason game against the New England Patriots, which the Panthers won 25-14.
Per ESPN.com's David Newton, the Panthers star had a black eye after landing on his helmet during a scrambling play in the first quarter.
Newton was also evaluated for a concussion before returning to the game after clearing protocol.
Despite appearing in all 16 games last season, Newton was banged up at times. There was some controversy over how the Panthers handled a potential concussion during the NFC Wild Card Game against the New Orleans Saints.
