Cameron Newton’s almost nonexistent season took another hit Tuesday night.
Backup quarterback Cam Newton is wearing a neck brace after his car was rear-ended by a truck.
Coach Urban Meyer said after Wednesday’s practice that the sophomore quarterback was rear-ended by a truck while in his car and is in a neck brace.
Meyer said he originally thought Newton was only in a “fender bender,” but learned Wednesday that Newton needed a brace.
Newton was held out of practice Wednesday, but Meyer said he should be fine and that he’s only experiencing a few headaches now.
Newton has only appeared in the Hawaii game where he finished with 14 yards off 1-of-2 passing and had five carries for 10 yards and a touchdown. He’s been battling a nagging ankle injury that he first suffered during spring practice.
Meyer said Newton will travel with the team to Nashville this weekend for the game against Vanderbilt.
