Panthers' Cam Newton: Seemingly not bothered by ankle

Newton (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

The Panthers routinely limit Newton's workload to start practice weeks in an attempt to reduce stress on his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. He missed a few snaps after hurting his ankle during Sunday's 20-19 loss to Detroit, but that issue isn't the cause of his limitations Wednesday. Newton should be his usual productive self Week 12 against the Seahawks, looking to continue a streak of nine consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes. He has been unusually quiet in the rushing department lately, taking just four carries for 12 yards the past two weeks.
