Commanders DT Jer’Zhan Newton (pectoral) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s Week 9 game against the Rams. His 21-day practice window opened last week, but he was not activated for last Sunday’s game against the Eagles. Newton was a full participant in practice this week and should make his return Sunday. He rejoins a defense that just lost both of its starting defensive tackles to season-ending injuries that required surgery this week.
