Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (foot) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Nov. 5, which will end his season.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Newton's Lisfranc injury was not getting better as the season wore on. He met with foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson last week and didn't receive good news on his recovery. Kyle Allen continues as the starter for the team, and we may have seen the last of Newton in Carolina. He's owed a non-guaranteed $19.1 million in 2020.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Nick Foles (collarbone) will return as the starter after the Week 10 bye.

Foles is healthy and ready to go against a huge divisional game in Week 11 against the Colts. He's got a big contract and it was only a matter of time, regardless of the hype around Gardner Minshew. The Jaguars are in win-now mode as they try to make a playoff push.

Thielen aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 9 and will already be declared out (according to this report) for Week 10. The team needs to be cautious with their star receiver, especially with a Week 12 bye coming up.

It's the Dolphins, so the Colts don't need to rush Brissett out there. They could easily win against Miami if Brian Hoyer was in at quarterback. We'll know more about Brissett's availability later in the week.
