The Panthers listed Cam Newton as a limited participant in practice Thursday, something coach Ron Rivera calls the quarterback’s “new normal” following offseason shoulder surgery.

“All part of the protocol that has been set up by our doctors and trainers,” Rivera said, via Max Henson of the team website. “This is going to be part of his maintenance as we go through the season.”

Rivera said Newton will take days when he limits his throwing but will never take a day completely off. Newton underwent surgery on his right shoulder March 30.

“He’s not going to take a true rest day. He just won’t,” Rivera said. “This is the compromise. He’s going to go through the other types of stuff [during practice]. The only thing we’re trying to maintain obviously is the shoulder.”

Cam took a big time beating in 2016...I was actually a bit scared for him a few times watching their games last year....especially opening night against the Broncos. I don't think anyone can take that much abuse and be the same player. He is a tough guy and plays through it, but he looked like a shell of his former self near the end of the year.

Same thing Steve McNair used to do. Not really a new normal.

Perhaps the beating aided in the need for shoulder surgery.
