Newton (pectoral) underwent surgery Wednesday and is expected to miss significant time, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Newton suffered the injury during last Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins. The defensive tackle tallied 38 tackles (21 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2025. It is unclear when Newton will be able to return to the field, but he will likely be out until at least late December.

Warren (groin) suffered a strained abductor in Wednesday's practice but is expected to return to practice next week, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Warren "is going to be fine," a source told Schultz. The second-year tight end suffered the injury in Wednesday's joint practice with Atlanta and seems unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons. Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory figure to see more snaps at the position while Warren is tending to his injury.

White has missed the last few days of practice with a hamstring injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

White's issue was previously unknown, but Garafolo adds the hamstring injury isn't considered serious or a long-term problem. The veteran running back is expected to fill the pass-down role in Washington's backfield alongside Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who is the favorite to handle early-down carries.

Leo (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to San Francisco's injured reserve list Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Leo wasn't picked up by another club after the 49ers waived him with an injury designation Tuesday, and now he's in line to be on IR for the whole 2026 campaign. His last regular-season action came with the Patriots back in 2024, when he played mostly on special teams over four games.

Jonathan (thigh) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jonathan was waived/injured by the Jets on Tuesday. The defensive end cleared waivers and will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Jonathan played in one regular-season game for the Jets in 2025, logging one tackle assist over 25 total snaps.

Reiger (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to Miami's injured reserve list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Reiger went unclaimed on waivers after the Dolphins cut him with an injury designation Tuesday, and now he's on track to spend the entire 2026 season on their injured reserve list. The undrafted free agent will have to continue to wait to make his regular-season debut.

Robinson (undisclosed) reverted to the Ravens' injured reserve list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Robinson was waived/injured by the Ravens on Tuesday. The safety cleared waivers and is set to spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The undrafted free agent out of Auburn will likely look toward next year for a potential NFL debut.

Pinter (leg) was carted off the field after suffering an injury during Wednesday's joint practice with the Vikings, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Pinter was later seen wearing a brace on his right leg, and it appeared he was bound for additional testing. In his stead, free-agent acquisition Jovaughn Gwyn could be next up for first-team reps at center.

Young (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Young missed Wednesday's joint session with the Patriots due to a new issue. The defensive tackle is set to play significant rotational reps for the Eagles in 2026, so any injury will likely be treated with extensive care. It is unclear how much time Young will miss due to the issue, but his absence will likely create further opportunities for Ty Robinson and Uar Bernard in Saturday's preseason showdown with the Patriots.

Ojukwu (pectoral) did not participate during the Eagles' training camp practice Wednesday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

As of now, there's no concrete timetable for Ojukwu's return to the practice field, and his status for Saturday's preseason game at New England is in doubt. In his absence, 2025 sixth-rounder Myles Hinton is a candidate to see an uptick in reps at tackle.
