Panthers quarterback Cam Newton appears to have dodged any problem with his ankle.

A league source tells PFT that Newton’s ankle feels good this morning after concern following yesterday’s loss to the Vikings that he might have suffered an injury that could cause him to miss time.

The Vikings sacked Newton eight times on Sunday, the second-most he’s ever been sacked in his career, and he was hit hard on other plays as well. He suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter that caused him to leave the game for one play, but he said afterward that the injury wasn’t the reason he had a rough outing against the Vikings.

Newton should be fine for Sunday at Atlanta.
