Cam Newton has taken a big step in his recovery from shoulder surgery, according to a report.

According to a league source, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has begun throwing overhand with a regulation sized football. This is another step in the rehab process, as Newton remains on schedule to be participating in workouts by training camp – team won’t rush him.

Newton underwent shoulder surgery in January after missing the Carolina Panthers’ final two regular season games due to his injury. He had to be replaced on a Hail Mary late in the season due to his lack of arm strength and shared in February just how bad it was.
The former No. 1 overall pick and league MVP is entering his ninth season in the NFL. He’s hoping to be ready by the time the Panthers begin training camp.
