Newton (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
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.
