The New England Patriots are reportedly "confident" in quarterback Cam Newton's health ahead of his physical.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Newton is in the New England area to take his physical and finalize the one-year contract he agreed to earlier this week with the Patriots. The deal is worth a base of $1.75 million, but he can earn up to $7.5 million with bonuses and incentives.
The Patriots reportedly anticipate "no issues" with his physical.
Newton missed the final two games of the 2018 season with a throwing shoulder injury that required surgery.
