Needs surgery on left foot
Newton is scheduled to undergo surgery on his left foot next week and is without a timetable for a return, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
ANALYSIS
Newton has been recovering from January surgery on his right foot to repair a partial Jones fracture, which likely led to his fall down the draft board before Washington scooped him up with the No. 36 overall pick. He apparently is now in need of the same surgery on his other foot, which could affect his availability for the start of training camp. When healthy, the rookie projects to be an athletic force in the trenches, but the injury could hinder his chances of making an impact as a rookie.

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.
