Four catches in preseason finale
Washington recorded four catches on five targets for 35 yards in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Washington got the chance to play with Jacksonville's starting unit with Christian Kirk (calf) sidelined. He tallied a pair of receptions from Trevor Lawrence and then remained in the game for a few additional drives as Jacksonville's backups took the field. That's indicative of Washington's status on the depth chart, as he should operate as the fourth wide receiver when Kirk, Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas are all healthy.

Secures touchdown Saturday
Washington caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The 22-year-old had a decent rookie campaign as a depth wideout last season, as he finished with 16 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. Washington has likely already secured a place on the season-opening roster, but he's competing with Devin Duvernay for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart. Neither wide receiver is likely to be fantasy relevant to begin the season with Christian Kirk (calf), Gabe Davis and first-round rookie Brian Thomas locked in as Jacksonville's top…read more

Stands out during OTAs
Parker has been impressive this spring and is well on his way to earning a roster spot, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The 2023 sixth-round pick didn't play much through the first three months of his rookie year but then got a look as the No. 3 receiver after Christian Kirk suffered a season-ending injury. Washington played at least 25 snaps in each of Jacksonville's final six games, catching 16 of 21 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in that stretch. He'll likely enter the upcoming season somewhere between third and fifth on the depth chart at wide receiver, with his initial role partially depending on…read more

Quiet close to season
Washington caught his lone target for 11 yards Week 18 against the Titans and finished the season with 16 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns in nine games.
Analysis: Washington saw action in just one of Jacksonville's first nine games but was more involved during the second half of the campaign. The rookie sixth-round pick caught six passes for 61 yards and a touchdown against Cincinnati in Week 12 but otherwise wasn't noticeably involved in the passing game. Jacksonville's receiving corps could look different in 2024 with Calvin Ridley set to become a free agent, though Christian Kirk (groin) and Zay Jones remain under contract.

One catch Week 17
Washington caught his lone target for two yards and returned two punts for 17 yards during Sunday's 26-0 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick's 40 percent snap share was his lowest since Week 12 despite the absence of Zay Jones (hamstring). Washington appeared primed for a breakout after he caught six passes for 61 yards and a touchdown Week 13 against Cincinnati, but he has just nine receptions for 60 yards and one score across the past four games.

Quiet in blowout
Washington caught two of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Washington was unable to get in a groove with either Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) or backup C.J. Beathard, finishing below 20 receiving yards for the second straight game. Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks were similarly involved Sunday, but Calvin Ridley and Evan Engram are likely to remain the only notable producers in Jacksonville's passing game due to Christian Kirk (groin) being on injured reserve.

Just 12 yards in loss
Washington caught four of six targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 23-7 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick tied for third on the team in targets but didn't have any production of substance with a long reception of six yards. Washington played 45 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps and worked as the No. 3 wideout, and an increased role could be in store depending on the severity of Zay Jones' hamstring injury.

Catches another touchdown
Washington caught two of three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: The 21-year-old secured the second touchdown of his career with a 19-yard reception in the fourth quarter, but he otherwise wasn't significantly involved in the passing game on a day when Trevor Lawrence attempted 50 passes. Washington played 47 of 76 offensive snaps as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout and should remain in that role going forward with Christian Kirk (groin) on injured reserve.

Busts out after Kirk injury
Washington caught all six of his targets for 61 yards and a touchdown during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals. He also returned two kickoffs for 51 yards and one punt for no yards.
Analysis: Christian Kirk exited with a groin injury on Jacksonville's first drive, and Washington took advantage of the opportunity. The rookie sixth-round pick didn't have a catch and had played just 12 offensive snaps in his three prior appearances this season, but he played 59 percent of the offensive snaps Monday and was second on the team in receptions. The specifics of Kirk's injury aren't yet known, but if he misses more time Washington will likely serve as the Jags' No. 3 wide receiver behind…read more

Activated for Week 11
The Jaguars activated Washington (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Washington hurt his knee against the Falcons in Week 4 and was placed on IR soon thereafter. That Week 4 contest has been his only game action of the season, and he logged just one offensive snap and one special-teams snap before getting hurt. Washington doesn't figure to see much action as a receiver upon his return, though he could be immediately featured as a kick and/or punt returner with Jamal Agnew (shoulder) landing on IR on Saturday.

Returns to practice
Washington (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Washington was designated to return from IR earlier Wednesday, so a slow start for his first practice was likely expected. However, he'll probably need to ramp up his activity Thursday and Friday to suit up Sunday against the Titans.

Getting closer to return
Washington (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Washington will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be moved to the 53-man roster. If he can prove himself ready to play, he can suit up as soon as Sunday against the Titans. With Jamal Agnew (shoulder) and Zay Jones (knee) statuses in question for Week 11, Washington could have a role in the offense and at least regain return duties on special teams if he is active for the matchup.

Moved to IR
The Jaguars placed Washington (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Washington had already been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Buffalo due to a right knee injury, and he'll now need to sit out at least four games before he's able to get back on the field. The rookie wideout saw just one offensive snap and one special-teams snap in his NFL debut Week 4 versus Atlanta.

Out for Week 5
Washington (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Washington was a healthy scratch for Jacksonville's first three games of the season, and he injured his right knee in his NFL debut Week 4. The rookie's next chance to play will come Week 6 versus the Colts, though he could be a healthy inactive again if Jamal Agnew (quadriceps) is back on the field at that time.

Logs DNP
Washington (knee) was a nonparticipant during practice Wednesday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Analysis: Washington still hasn't recovered from the injury suffered in Sunday's win over the Falcons. The rookie receiver had been a healthy scratch in the team's previous three games, but he was filling in for Jamal Agnew, who was out with a quadriceps injury. Even if Washington returns to full health in time for Jacksonville's Week 5 matchup with Buffalo, he could find himself inactive again if Agnew can play.

Expected to miss time
Washington (knee) is unlikely to play Week 5 against the Bills, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Washington suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Falcons, which was the sixth-round rookie's NFL debut, as he filled in for Jamal Agnew (quad), who was inactive. It's unclear if Washington is in danger of missing time beyond that, but Agnew is expected to return for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Bills in London.

Iffy to return due to knee injury
Washington suffered a right knee injury in Sunday's game against the Falcons and is questionable to return, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Washington, a rookie sixth-round pick out of Penn State, was active Sunday for the first time in his NFL career because the Jaguars are without two receivers in Zay Jones (knee) and Jamal Agnew (quad). The 21-year-old didn't draw a target and returned one punt for five yards before exiting with the injury. Christian Kirk is expected to handle punt-return duties if Washington is unable to check back into the contest.

Won't play Sunday
Washington (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Colts.
Analysis: Parker was recently the subject of trade rumors with the depth Jacksonville has at receiver after getting selected in the sixth round of the 2023 Draft. Although he remains on the team, he'll be sidelined for Week 1. His next chance to suit up will be Week 2 against the Chiefs.

Never on trading block
Jacksonville's general manager Trent Baalke indicated Thursday that "(Parker) was never on the trade block. We were never actively shopping him," John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Baalke later admitted a few teams did reach out about Washington's status, although no offers were made that moved the needle. The Jaguars are deep at receiver heading into the season, which leaves the team's sixth-round pick relatively buried on the depth chart. He will have plenty of time to continue acclimating to the playbook going forward, but it remains to be seen how big of a role, if any, he will have when the season kicks off.

Finds end zone with lone catch
Washington recorded one reception on two targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 25-7 preseason win over the Lions. He added one rush for minus-1 yard, returned two kickoffs for 46 yards and ran back three punts for 21 yards.
Analysis: Washington was on the field to start the game and was targeted on the first pass attempt from C.J. Beathard. His more impactful effort came just before halftime, when he caught a short pass to the left prior to shedding a tackle and turning upfield for a 15-yard score. Washington also handled punt returns, which could be his primary contribution to begin the regular season.
