Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (shoulder) began light throwing Monday, June 26, for the first time since offseason shoulder surgery. He threw 45 passes to athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion. ‘Obviously, it’s still not 100 percent, but seeing the ball come out of my hand in a throwing motion was good. When I say it’s not 100 percent, I’m noting the range of motion part,’ Newton said. ‘Like if you sleep with your legs hanging off your bed the whole night, you’re going to wake up and be super stiff. Or like sitting on your hands, or sitting in an awkward position and finally getting up and moving – that’s how I feel.’
