Newton recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 36-33 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Newton, a 2024 second-round pick from Illinois, appears to be finding his groove in the NFL, as he tallied career highs in total tackles (six) and tackles for loss (three) in Sunday's win. The rookie defensive lineman has been inconsistent throughout the year, recording 38 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across 14 appearances. Newton appears to be improving as the season progresses, and his next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 17 when the Commanders face the Falcons.

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.
