Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has not been on the field since Week 2 of the NFL season due to a Lisfranc injury. He was placed on Injured Reserve and was replaced by backup Kyle Allen. Following his mid-December surgery, Newton has since been recovering in anticipation of the 2020 season.

These efforts have been thoroughly documented on social media by the 2015 league MVP. Newton has posted a considerable number of videos and photos that show him putting in the work to get back to full health.

Newton has not simply been limited to the trainer's room throughout his recovery process. He has put in extensive work in his home gym and has also frequently been in the pool for some low-resistance aquatic workouts.

While there are questions about Newton's future with the Panthers, the fans are simply happy to see him putting in work on a daily basis. They want him back on the field and making plays with both his arm and his legs. Seeing his posts on social media provides a glimpse of hope for these fans.
