Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Ready to go for Week 17

Newton (head) is not listed on the Commanders' injury report for Week 17.

Newton left Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles early due to a head injury, but his absence from the Week 17 injury report suggests he avoided a concussion. The 23-year-old should be all set to fully practice throughout Week 17 in anticipation of playing a rotational role along the defensive line Thursday against the Cowboys.
