u25aa Receiver Devin Funchess did not join quarterback Cam Newton and many other receivers for throwing drills and workouts in Baltimore. Funchess, who expects his role to expand this season, said his grandfather had to have a health procedure so he was attending to that instead of going to Baltimore.
