Before you freak out, this is the same injury Tony Romo has, so you can play with it, it just extremely painful. Romo only had one break though (he actually came back into the game believe it or not).
Further testing revealed that Cam Newton has two transverse process fractures in his lower back and no further internal injuries.

The good news is he has no internal or life threatening injuries. Cam was in a 2-car accident where his car flipped over four times.
