Panthers' Cam Newton: Likely won't throw during minicamp

Newton (shoulder) is not expected to throw during this week's minicamp, NFL Network's Tiffany Blackmon reports.

Newton was originally expected to begin throwing at the Panthers' mandatory minicamp this week, but the team appears to be playing it safe with their quarterback's rehab process. Newton, who underwent surgery in late March to repair a partially torn rotator cuff, will likely stick to individual work on the side during minicamp. He remains on track for a return at the start of training camp in late July, but backup Derek Anderson will work with the first team in practice this week.
