NFL preseason roundup: Cam Newton leaves injured in Panthers’ loss to Patriots

This was not the return to the field that Cam Newton was hoping to make.

The Carolina Panthers quarterback left Thursday night’s 10-3 exhibition loss against New England in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during the first quarter with a foot injury that left him grimacing on the sideline.

Newton appeared to be injured when he was sacked for a loss of 8 yards by Adam Butler on a third-and-10 from the Carolina 31. It was one of two Patriots sacks while Newton was in the game.

Tom Brady finished his first exhibition game of 2019 by going 8 for 12 for 75 yards, including an 18-yard pass to tight end Ryan Izzo to set up the 1-yard touchdown plunge by James Develin in the second quarter.

Giants 25, Bengals 23: Daniel Jones led New York to a touchdown during a victory over host Cincinnati in Zac Taylor’s first home game as head coach.

Jones got into the game on the Giants’ second series and went 9 of 11 for 141 yards the rest of the half.

Ravens 26, Eagles 15: Trace McSorley threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for a score, helping visiting Baltimore beat Philadelphia for its 16th straight preseason win.

The game was stopped by the NFL with 11:43 remaining in the fourth quarter because of lightning after a short delay.

Redskins 19, Falcons 7: Rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins led Washington to three second-half scoring drives, including two set up by host Atlanta’s lost fumbles while attempting to field punts, and the Redskins took a preseason win over the Falcons.

Haskins, the first-round draft pick from Ohio State, completed 7 of 13 passes for 74 yards in the second half. Colt McCoy, Washington’s third contestant in the quarterback competition, is still recovering from a broken right leg suffered in 2018.

Dolphins 22, Jaguars 7: Josh Rosen came off the bench late in the third quarter and engineered a 99-yard touchdown drive, and Miami beat Jacksonville in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Rosen, who is battling Ryan Fitzpatrick for the starting quarterback job for Miami, was 5 for 7 for 59 yards and a touchdown and ran four times for 23 yards.

Raiders 22, Packers 21: Daniel Carson kicked a 33-yard field goal with 8 seconds remaining, and Oakland earned a bizarre preseason victory over Green Bay in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on a field that was shortened to 80 yards over concerns about player safety.

End zones were marked by bright orange pylons at the 10-yard lines and there were no kickoffs. The field was reconfigured because of concerns about the areas where the goal posts for the CFL’s Winnipeg franchise are usually located.
