Outside of Dan Quinn’s T-shirt, rookie defensive tackle Johnny Newton’s foot injury was the talk of last weekend for the Washington Commanders.

Jones suffered the injury sometime during the 2023 season at Illinois and still won the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award. However, the shock was that Newton needed surgery on the other foot. According to Quinn, the doctor discovered Newton had a similar condition in the opposite foot and wou ..read more

He had a new number — sort of. Way jogg ..read more
