Patriots' Cam Newton: Suffers finger injury Friday

Newton appeared to suffer a finger injury after making contact with a teammate's helmet in Friday's OTA session and sat out for the reminder of practice, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.

Of note is that Newton remained on the field, which should bode well in terms of his long-term prospects. Still, it will be worth monitoring whether the team elects to take him for X-rays on the issue or not. More info on his status should be released in the near future. Jarrett Stidham and rookie Mac Jones split the reps under center in his absence.
