Newton (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
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.
