CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Cam Newton did not throw as the Panthers opened a mandatory three-day minicamp, while offensive tackle Michael Oher remained absent from practice eight months after suffering a concussion.
Newton, the league’s Most Valuable Player in 2015, is coming off shoulder surgery to repair a partially torn rotator cuff he suffered last November.
Newton was on the field Tuesday wearing a black hoodie under his red practice jersey on a June day where temperatures soared into the 90s. He would holler after big plays, at times running up to his offensive teammates and congratulating them with a flying chest bump.
