As far as when he’s coming back? Newton says that’s the last thing on his mind.

In addition to thanking his fans for their support, Newton wrote a heartfelt message of forgiveness and love on his Instagram last night. A timetable for his return has not been released, although is expected that he will play against the Browns next week.
