CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will not throw during a three-day minicamp that begins on Tuesday.
Coach Ron Rivera said last week that the 2015 NFL MVP planned to throw on the side during the mandatory camp. It was to have been the first time Newton has thrown overhanded since undergoing surgery on March 30 to repair a partially torn rotator cuff.
Newton did not answer questions about whether he would throw during his Friday charity kickball event. But during an interview with ESPN's Marty Smith, after spending the day pitching underhanded during the event, Newton indicated he wasn't ready to throw overhanded.
