Greg Newsome II - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Finishes 2025 season with Jags Newsome appeared in 17 regular-season games between the Browns (five games) and Jaguars (12 games) in 2025 and accumulated 52 tackles (41 solo) and nine pass defenses (one intercep...

Impact Newsome started the season on the Jaguars before being traded to the Jaguars in early October. He played a key role in both team's defenses, and despite dealing with shoulder, hamstring an ankle injuries throughout the season, he ended the 2025 campaign with a career high in total tackles. Newsome enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should attract offers from teams looking to upgrade their secondary.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will continue playing Travis Hunter on both sides of the ball but expect him to have a “higher emphasis” on defense in 2026

A 13-win season and a division title provide 'a sturdy platform' for the Jaguars moving forward

The Jacksonville Jaguars came up short against Buffalo, losing 27-24 in a wild-card game that featured 28 points and four lead changes in the fourth quarter alone

Cleared despite limited practices Newsome (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's wild-card round game against the Bills.

Impact Newsome was limited by a shoulder injury in practice throughout the week but will be available when the Jaguars host the Bills in Sunday's postseason matchup. The starting cornerback could be a key contributor since the normally run-heavy Bills offense may opt for a more pass-heavy approach to put the ball in star quarterback Josh Allen's hands against a Jaguars defense that was the best in the league at defending the run in the regular season.

Limited in practice Wednesday Newsome (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Newsome was able to return to last Sunday's game against the Titans after sustaining the shoulder injury, meaning the cornerback will likely play through it for Sunday's playoff game against the Bills. The 25-year-old will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation in the hopes of dodging an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Returns to game Newsome (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Titans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Impact Newsome briefly left in the first half of Sunday's game with a shoulder injury, and after being tended to by trainers, he was cleared to return. The 25-year-old has 28 tackles (23 solo) and one interception through 16 games this season.

Leaves game with shoulder injury Newsome (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Impact Newsome is being evaluated by medical staff for a shoulder injury to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Keith Taylor (coach's decision) inactive, Christian Braswell would be in line for more snaps at outside corner for as long as Newsome is out of the game.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for Week 18 Newsome (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Newsome logged limited practices throughout Week 18, and was able to dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game without logging a full practice session. The starting cornerback is all set to suit up opposite Jarrian Jones, with neither cornerback missing a game for the Jaguars this season.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Newsome (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Newsome has been nursing the shoulder issue for the past 10 days but ended up being cleared to play last Sunday against the Colts and logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the first time since being acquired from the Browns ahead of Week 6.

Cleared to play Week 17 Newsome (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Newsome logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week but is good to go for Sunday. He wasn't able to finish last Sunday's win over Denver after hurting his shoulder in the fourth quarter, but the issue won't cost him additional time. Newsome has started nine of the 10 games in which he's played so far this season.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Newsome (shoulder/personal) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Newsome sustained a shoulder injury during the fourth quarter of Jacksonville's Week 16 win over Denver and was unable to return, finishing with three solo tackles. He was unable to practice Wednesday due to the injury while also attending to a personal matter, and he'll have two more chances to practice in full and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road tilt against the Colts.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Newsome (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Impact Newsome exited in the early fourth quarter with a shoulder injury after making a tackle on R.J Harvey. If the cornerback is unable to return, Christian Braswell will likely finish out the game at outside corner.

Impact Newsome picked off a Riley Leonard pass intended for Michael Pittman early in the fourth quarter, though the Jaguars offense was unable to convert the turnover into points despite entering the red zone. It was Newsome's first interception of the regular season, and through eight games with the Jaguars he has posted 19 tackles (14 solo) and five pass defenses.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are skipping no-show November for a change

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • Associated Press

Good to go Week 12 Newsome (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Newsome suffered an ankle injury during the Jaguars' Week 11 win over the Chargers. The injury limited his practice reps all week, but he has been given the green light to play in Sunday's road game. Newsome has accumulated 13 tackles (nine solo) and three pass defenses across five regular-season games for the Jaguars since being acquired from the Browns in early October.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Newsome was injured in the first quarter of last Sunday's win over the Chargers and was unable to return to the contest. With Newsome sidelined, Christian Braswell took over at cornerback alongside Montaric Brown and Jarrian Jones.
