Newton (foot) was listed as a DNP for Thursday's practice session.

EDGE Analysis

Newton opened the week with a limited tag Wednesday as he continues to recover from offseason surgery on his left foot. His inability to practice Thursday could just be precautionary, but it doesn't bode well for his chance at suiting up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Buccaneers. Newton has one more opportunity Friday to practice in some capacity ahead of Week 1.

Newton (foot) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Newton's participation level was expected, with head coach Dan Quinn previously stating the team likely wouldn't know the Illinois product's Week 1 status until Friday. If he isn't able to play Sunday against Tampa Bay, the Commanders could lack depth in the middle of their defensive line, especially with Daron Payne also working his way through a back injury.

Coach Dan Quinn said Newton (undisclosed) will participate in Wednesday's practice, have his reps capped Thursday and then practice again Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quinn said the Commanders will have a better idea of Newton's status for Week 1 after Friday's practice. The rookie second-round pick spent most of training camp recovering from a foot injury, but he's recently been working his way back from a different, undisclosed issue. If he's able to play Sunday on the road at Tampa Bay, Newton is expected to begin as a backup to Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Head coach Dan Quinn said Thursday that Newton (undisclosed) will see more practice reps next week, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newton had been working through a foot injury through most of training camp, but an unrelated, undisclosed injury has popped up. Quinn noted that next week will provide a better indication as to whether the rookie second-round pick will be able to suit up for Week 1 against Tampa Bay. Newton is expected to serve in a backup role at defensive tackle behind Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Newton is dealing with a soft-tissue injury this week, unrelated to his previous foot injury, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newton underwent multiple foot surgeries earlier this year and started camp on the NFI list. However, it turns out the reason he's been sidelined lately is unrelated, and head coach Dan Quinn expects to ramp up the rookie's workload later in the week.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Newton (foot) is "improving" and that the team will decide evaluate him for participation in team drills later this week, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quinn said that Brandon Coleman (pectoral) is a "little further along" than Newton, per John Keim of ESPN.com, and that both players will participate in individual drills to begin this week. Newton's final chance to suit up for preseason action will come Sunday versus the Patriots, but it looks like the rookie second-round pick's recovery from offseason foot surgery could keep him sidelined for Washington's final exhibition contest.

The Commanders activated Newton (foot) from their active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newton has spent the offseason recovering from a partial Jones fracture that he suffered last year at Illinois, but it now seems that he's moved past the issue. The 6-foot-2, 304-pound defensive tackle posted 22.5 tackles for loss during his final two collegiate seasons, and he's expected to contribute as a rotational defensive lineman throughout his rookie campaign.

Adam Peters, the Commanders' GM, indicated Tuesday that the team is pleased with Newton's (foot) progress, and he is expected to return "sooner rather than later," Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newton underwent a procedure on his right foot in January, and then another one on his left in mid-May. A second-round selection by Washington, the rookie is expected to play a role in the team's interior trenches when he's healthy. While there appears to be optimism regarding his recovery, it remains to be seen when he'll be back on the field.

The Commanders placed Newton (foot) on the active/non-football injury list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Newton continues to recover from a pair of surgeries, having undergone a procedure on his right foot in January, then on his left foot in mid-May. The rookie second-round pick will be eligible to come off the NFI list at any point in training camp or the preseason once he's ready to practice, but Washington hasn't yet offered an expected timetable for his return. However, head coach Dan Quinn did say in early June that Newton is "hitting all of his markers" in his recovery.
