Cam Newton limited at Patriots practice Wednesday, likely to play at Chargers

Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was limited in practice Wednesday with a new abdomen injury.

It was his first appearance on an injury report all season. The Pats practiced in full pads and Newton led their initial team practice period. Newton is likely to play Sunday at the Chargers, according to a source.

He played every offensive snap of the team’s 20-17 home win over the Cardinals last weekend. Newton absorbed a vicious blow on one of the Patriots’ final plays, when he finished a 14-yard run out of bounds, where Arizona linebacker Isaiah Simmons leveled him into his own sideline.

The Pats will release their final injury report Friday afternoon, when they are scheduled to leave for Los Angeles.

Both teams’ complete injury reports are below.
