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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hoping to be ready for season
Newton is hoping to recover from his most recent foot surgery in time to begin the regular season, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Newton underwent surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot Monday, after undergoing a similar procedure on his right foot in January. The team hasn't offered a timeline for his return, though it is reportedly optimistic that he'll be ready to begin his rookie season on time. Newton was likely to be eased into his first pro season anyway, as Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen are among the best defensive tackle tandems in the league.
