The Washington Commanders' second-round draft pick undergoes successful surgery on foot and should be ready for the regular season.
The Washington Commanders didn't necessarily need help on the inside of their defensive trenches, but when their second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft came around there wasn't a better player still on the board than Illini defensive lineman Jer'Zhan 'Johnny' Newton.
His progress into the NFL has now apparently hit a bit of a snag as it was reported that he underwent surgery on a Jones fracture in his left foot on Monday.The surgery was done by Dr. O’Malley. Washington is optimistic that Newton will make a full recovery before the regular season.The surgery was deemed successful, however, and the Commanders believe that he will be ready to go prior to the start of the 2024 regular season.
