Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Possible concussion
Newton (head) exited Saturday's game early and is being evaluated for a possible concussion, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Newton exited with 1:03 remaining in the game, the last play before the Eagles knelt the clock out. The defensive tackle has potentially suffered a concussion, and if he enters the league's concussion protocol, he will need to clear all five steps to be available for the Commanders' Week 17 matchup with the Cowboys.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Cleared to play Saturday
Newton (illness) is active for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Eagles.
Newton was initially listed as questionable for Week 16 due to an illness, but the second-year pro has returned to health in time to suit up for Washington. Expect Newton to contribute in his usual rotational role behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Questionable with illness
Newton (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Eagles, Ben Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Newton was a new addition to Thursday's injury report with an illness. The defensive tackle's ability to play Saturday will hinge on how quickly his immune system bounces back. The 23-year-old should be set to suit up, but if he is unable to go, Sheldon Day will be the lone reserve option behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Active for SNF
Newton (ankle) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Seahawks.
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.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Officially questionable for Week 9
Newton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
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 players approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Held out of Wednesday's practice
Newton (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
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.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: 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.
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.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Questionable to return
Newton (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: 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.
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 further develop in 2025 during his second NFL campaign.
