Commanders
Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton (foot) is officially active for Week 2 versus the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction as of Sunday morning. Indeed, he'll suit up for his NFL debut against a Giants offensive line that has its fair share of holes. Washington's defense has plenty of appeal as a top-10 unit in fantasy football this week given their favorable matchup against a Daniel Jones-led Giants squad.

Jer'Zhan Newton Trending Toward Playing Versus Giants
Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton (foot) "is trending towards making his season debut today," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie is still listed as questionable, but it sounds like he'll be able to make his NFL Debut in Week 2, barring a setback. The young playmaker could make a real impact along the defensive front against a struggling Daniel Jones and the Giants' porous offensive line.

Jer'Zhan Newton Has Successful Foot Surgery
Washington Commanders second-round defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton (foot) had successful surgery on his Jones fracture on Tuesday in New York City, according to sources. The surgery was done by Dr. O'Malley, and Washington is optimistic that Newton will make a full recovery before his rookie season this fall. Newton has now had surgery on both of his feet for Jones fractures. It's not a great start in his first NFL offseason, but the 21-year-old defensive tackle will have a chance to make an impact in his first year in the league as long as he can stay on the field this fall. If not for his foot injury, Newton may have been a first-round consideration, but he ultimately fell to the Commanders at pick No. 36. If he puts his foot injuries behind him, Newton could be a steal in the trenches of Washington's D-line.

Jer'Zhan Newton To Have Surgery Next Week
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that second-round rookie defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton (foot) has an injury to his left foot -- not the same foot as his college season but the same injury -- and has surgery scheduled for next week. "Not giving any timelines for that," Quinn said. The 21-year-old had surgery in January on his right foot to fix a partial Jones fracture, but now he'll be forced to undergo a similar surgery on his other foot. It's not what you want to hear from a high draft pick as they head into their first NFL offseason. It remains to be seen when Newton will be able to practice with the team. Any missed time in training camp this summer would be a big blow to his development as he looks to carve out a role on the interior of Washington's defensive line in 2024.
