Christian McCaffrey is the latest member of the Madden 99 club.

The Carolina Panthers running back, 23, is the youngest player to obtain the top rating for the popular video game.

McCaffrey is on pace to break Chris Johnson's single-season record for total yards from scrimmage.

According to oddsmakers at SportsBetting.ag, Cam Newton is more likely to begin the 2020 season with the Chicago Bears or Cincinnati Bengals than he is to remain with the Carolina Panthers.

Newton is out for the season and his future with the Panthers is uncertain.

David Tepper didn't address the future of Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney, but the Carolina Panthers owner made it clear while speaking to reporters that he won't accept long-term mediocrity.

The Panthers are 5-5 after a 29-3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

"Every time we have a loss, my mood is s---ty," Tepper said.

The Panthers have a 13-14 record since Tepper purchased the organization for an NFL-record $2.275 billion from former owner Jerry Richardson in 2018.

Cam Newton has been placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Newton aggravated the Lisfranc injury, originally suffered in the third preseason game, in a Week 2 loss against the Buccaneers.

"For the past seven weeks, Cam has diligently followed a program of rest and rehab and still is experiencing pain in his foot," general manager Marty Hurney said in a statement. "He saw two foot specialists last week who agreed that he should continue that path prescribed by the team's medical staff, and that it likely will take significant time for the injury to fully heal."

Newton had previously only missed three starts in seven seasons.

Newton has one season remaining on his contract with the Carolina Panthers.

Cam Newton won't need to undergo surgery on his foot after seeing renowned specialist Dr. Robert Anderson.

The Carolina Panthers still don't have a timetable for when Newton will be healthy enough to play.

"He wants to compete so badly," Ron Rivera said. "I did get the sense he was frustrated."

Kyle Allen will remain the start for the Panthers.

Cam Newton is traveling to Green Bay to visit renowned foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, according to sources.

Newton has not played since aggravating a left foot Lisfranc injury in Week 2.

Kyle Allen will start for the Carolina Panthers this Sunday.
