FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Cam Newton hasn’t practiced since injuring his throwing hand during voluntary workouts last week. Coach Bill Belichick expects New England's incumbent starting quarterback to be fine.

Newton was not at Thursday’s workout, the third session open to media.

“He’s doing all right. He won’t participate today, but he’s getting better,” Belichick said before practice.

This is Newton’s first full offseason with the Patriots after signing with them last July.
