Active for SNF
Newton (ankle) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Newton is good to go after being limited at practice throughout the week with an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 8. The defensive lineman will operate as a top reserve option behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw versus Seattle.

Officially questionable for Week 9
Newton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newton sustained an ankle injury during the Commanders' Week 8 loss to the Chiefs, though he was able to return to the contest to finish with four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. He opened the week with back-to-back DNPs before logging a limited session Friday, which was enough for the Commanders to tag the second-year defensive lineman as questionable for Week 9. Newton's official status may not be known until the Commanders announce their list of inactive…read more

Held out of Wednesday's practice
Newton (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Newton tweaked his ankle during the Commanders' Week 8 loss to the Chiefs, but he was able to return and finished with four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. He's still working through the injury, so his practice participation over the next two days will be worth monitoring heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Records second sack of season
Newton recorded four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during Monday's loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Newton put together his best game of the season from a statistical standpoint during Monday's loss, one of the lone bright spots for the Commanders. He was briefly forced out of action due to an ankle issue Monday but managed to retake the field. The second-year defensive tackle will continue to progress in his development while operating as the top reserve man behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw versus Seattle in Week 9.

Newton (ankle) has returned to action in Monday night's contest against Kansas City, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Questionable to return
Newton (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Newton appeared to have suffered an ankle injury in the first half, placing some doubt on his ability to return to action during Monday Night Football. In his absence, Eddie Goldman and Sheldon Day are top candidates to handle larger workloads on the defensive line.

Has key role in rookie campaign
Newton finished the 2024 regular season with 44 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass, a forced fumble and a recovered fumble over 16 games.
Analysis: After being taken in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Newton missed Washington's regular-season opener due to a foot injury. He was ready to play the following week, however, and gradually worked his way up to a significant role -- Newton started each of the Commanders' regular-season contests from Week 7 onward, though he came off the bench and logged lesser defensive snap counts during the playoffs. Newton appears to be a key part of the team's plans moving forward and will look to…read more

Shows out in Week 16
Newton recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 36-33 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Newton, a 2024 second-round pick from Illinois, appears to be finding his groove in the NFL, as he tallied career highs in total tackles (six) and tackles for loss (three) in Sunday's win. The rookie defensive lineman has been inconsistent throughout the year, recording 38 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across 14 appearances. Newton appears to be improving as the season progresses, and his next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 17 when the Commanders…read more

Will play Monday
Newton (foot) was limited in Saturday's practice but does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Newton made his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Giants, during which he played 12 snaps on defense and did not record a tackle. He opened the week as a DNP on Thursday due to a lingering foot injury, and despite being limited Friday and Saturday, he is good to go for Monday's contest. Newton will provide depth at defensive tackle behind starters Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Set to make NFL debut
Newton (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newton fell in the 2024 NFL Draft due to injury concerns and missed Washington's season-opening loss to Tampa Bay due to a foot injury. However, the Illinois product logged a pair of limited sessions to cap Week 2 prep and is slated to make his NFL debut. Despite being active, the rookie's role is expected to be limited. With Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen leading the way, Newton will compete with Phidarian Mathis and Carlos Watkins for backup DT snaps.

Could make NFL debut Sunday
Newton (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newton managed two straight limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, which could be a positive sign for his availability Sunday. If the 2023 second-round pick remains sidelined for a second consecutive game with a foot injury Week 2, expect Phidarian Mathis would likely serve as the top backup defensive tackle behind starters Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Manages to practice Thursday
Newton (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Newton opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but the rookie second-rounder was at least able to see the field Thursday. He underwent surgery in January to repair a partial Jones fracture in his foot, which kept him out of OTAs, minicamp and most of training camp. Friday's injury report will provide more clarity on whether Newton will make his NFL debut against the Giants on Sunday.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Newton (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The 2024 second-round pick was thought to possibly make his NFL debut Sunday after missing Washington's Week 1 loss due to a foot issue, but missing Wednesday's practice seems to be a step in the wrong direction. If Newton is unable to practice throughout the week, expect Phidarian Mathis to see more work as the Commanders' top rotational interior defensive lineman.

In contention to make debut Week 2
Coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that the Commanders "may" have Newton (foot) available for Sunday's contest against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Newton missed Week 1 due to a foot injury, but it sounds like the rookie second-round pick's regular-season debut could come during Sunday's divisional matchup. Quinn said Newton is "trending in the right way," and that Washington will have more information on his status Friday.

Out Sunday
Newton (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The 2024 second-round pick was listed as doubtful Friday after missing practice Thursday. Newton fell in the draft due to injury concerns. Phidarian Mathis should replace him as the Commanders' top rotational defensive tackle.

Likely missing Week 1
Newton (foot) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newton fell in the 2024 NFL Draft due to injury concerns, and it now appears he's expected to miss the Commanders' regular-season opener due to a foot injury. If the 22-year-old rookie does miss Sunday's affair, expect Phidarian Mathis to work as Washington's top rotational interior defensive lineman.

Doesn't practice Thursday
Newton (foot) was listed as a DNP for Thursday's practice session.
Analysis: Newton opened the week with a limited tag Wednesday as he continues to recover from offseason surgery on his left foot. His inability to practice Thursday could just be precautionary, but it doesn't bode well for his chance at suiting up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Buccaneers. Newton has one more opportunity Friday to practice in some capacity ahead of Week 1.

Status still up in the air
Newton (foot) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Newton's participation level was expected, with head coach Dan Quinn previously stating the team likely wouldn't know the Illinois product's Week 1 status until Friday. If he isn't able to play Sunday against Tampa Bay, the Commanders could lack depth in the middle of their defensive line, especially with Daron Payne also working his way through a back injury.

Being evaluated for Week 1
Coach Dan Quinn said Newton (undisclosed) will participate in Wednesday's practice, have his reps capped Thursday and then practice again Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Quinn said the Commanders will have a better idea of Newton's status for Week 1 after Friday's practice. The rookie second-round pick spent most of training camp recovering from a foot injury, but he's recently been working his way back from a different, undisclosed issue. If he's able to play Sunday on the road at Tampa Bay, Newton is expected to begin as a backup to Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Set to increase activity
Head coach Dan Quinn said Thursday that Newton (undisclosed) will see more practice reps next week, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Newton had been working through a foot injury through most of training camp, but an unrelated, undisclosed injury has popped up. Quinn noted that next week will provide a better indication as to whether the rookie second-round pick will be able to suit up for Week 1 against Tampa Bay. Newton is expected to serve in a backup role at defensive tackle behind Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Still working through injury
Newton is dealing with a soft-tissue injury this week, unrelated to his previous foot injury, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Analysis: Newton underwent multiple foot surgeries earlier this year and started camp on the NFI list. However, it turns out the reason he's been sidelined lately is unrelated, and head coach Dan Quinn expects to ramp up the rookie's workload later in the week.

Getting closer to team reps
Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Newton (foot) is "improving" and that the team will evaluate him for participation in team drills later this week, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Analysis: Quinn said that Brandon Coleman (pectoral) is a "little further along" than Newton, per John Keim of ESPN.com, and that both players will participate in individual drills to begin this week. Newton's final chance to suit up for preseason action will come Sunday versus the Patriots, but it looks like the rookie second-round pick's recovery from offseason foot surgery could keep him sidelined for Washington's final exhibition contest.

Comes off NFI list
The Commanders activated Newton (foot) from their active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Newton has spent the offseason recovering from a partial Jones fracture that he suffered last year at Illinois, but it now seems that he's moved past the issue. The 6-foot-2, 304-pound defensive tackle posted 22.5 tackles for loss during his final two collegiate seasons, and he's expected to contribute as a rotational defensive lineman throughout his rookie campaign.

Progressing well
Adam Peters, the Commanders' GM, indicated Tuesday that the team is pleased with Newton's (foot) progress, and he is expected to return "sooner rather than later," Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton underwent a procedure on his right foot in January, and then another one on his left in mid-May. A second-round selection by Washington, the rookie is expected to play a role in the team's interior trenches when he's healthy. While there appears to be optimism regarding his recovery, it remains to be seen when he'll be back on the field.

Starting camp on NFI list
The Commanders placed Newton (foot) on the active/non-football injury list Friday.
Analysis: Newton continues to recover from a pair of surgeries, having undergone a procedure on his right foot in January, then on his left foot in mid-May. The rookie second-round pick will be eligible to come off the NFI list at any point in training camp or the preseason once he's ready to practice, but Washington hasn't yet offered an expected timetable for his return. However, head coach Dan Quinn did say in early June that Newton is "hitting all of his markers" in his recovery.

Head coach Dan Quinn stated Tuesday that Newton is "hitting all of his markers" in his recovery from foot surgery, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Newton underwent surgery on his right foot in January and then had surgery on his left foot in mid-May. The 2024 second-round selection's status for the start of training camp is still to be determined, with the team expected to evaluate his progress weekly.

Needs surgery on left foot
Newton is scheduled to undergo surgery on his left foot next week and is without a timetable for a return, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Newton has been recovering from January surgery on his right foot to repair a partial Jones fracture, which likely led to his fall down the draft board before Washington scooped him up with the No. 36 overall pick. He apparently is now in need of the same surgery on his other foot, which could affect his availability for the start of training camp. When healthy, the rookie projects to be an athletic force in the trenches, but the injury could hinder his chances of making an impact as a rookie.

Still in walking boot
Newton (foot) was seen at Washington's offseason workouts with a walking boot on, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Newton underwent surgery in January to repair a partial Jones fracture in his foot. This may have been the primary reason he fell down the draft board to the end of Round 2, as he was originally expected to go much earlier. Although he was unable to take part in athletic drills at the combine, the Illinois star's game tape implies he projects to be rather athletic relative to defensive tackle standards. There has not been a clear timetable for when the rookie will be able to take the field, but…read more
