News

  • Promoted to active roster

    The Broncos elevated Washington to their active roster Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Washington made his Broncos debut in Week 2 against the Commanders, and he played in 18 snaps on special teams. He'll likely resume that role for Denver's Week 3 bout against Miami on Sunday.

    Published: Sat, Sep 23 at 2:24pm by Rotowire.com

  • Returns to practice squad

    Washington reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Washington was elevated from the practice squad prior to Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders. The running back was limited to just 18 snaps on special teams, failing to compile any stats, and he'll now wait for his next chance to crack the active roster this season.

  • Promoted to active roster

    Washington was elevated to the Broncos' active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Washington's addition to the active roster means the Broncos are rolling with four options in the backfield. He is not likely to see much work, if any, at running back, but the 29-year-old could be used on special teams.

  • Snags practice squad spot

    Washington was added to the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Washington failed to make it through final roster cuts, but he will remain in Denver nonetheless. He spent his previous five seasons in New Orleans, so his releationship with head coach Sean Payton was likely beneficial in the team's decision to keep him around. The veteran running back will now look to stay ready for an opportunity to get called up to the 53-man roster.

  • Released by Denver

    The Broncos released Washington on Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Washington signed with the Broncos in mid-August but was unable to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster. He appeared in 66 games with the Saints over the past five seasons, but he'll now attempt to find another opportunity ahead of the 2023 campaign.

  • Finds new home

    Washington signed with the Broncos on Wednesday, Ben Swanson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Washington closed out the 2022 campaign on the Saints' reserve/non-football illness list, but he's now healthy and ready to earn a role on Denver's roster in 2023. The 29-year-old spent the last five seasons in New Orleans, mostly handling a role on special teams. He'll now be reunited with Sean Payton, his former head coach for four of his years in New Orleans.

  • Moves to NFI list

    Washington (illness) was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Washington hasn't played since Week 13 while dealing with migraine issues. The move will end his season early and ensure he is out Sunday against the Panthers. He'll look to return next season, while the move also opens a roster spot for the Saints.

  • Remains out Sunday

    Washington (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Washington has been unable to practice over the last three weeks due to a migraine, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. It's unclear whether the running back will be able to suit up for the Saints' regular-season finale in Week 18.

  • Absent from Thursday's session

    Washington (illness) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Washington was unavailable for both of New Orleans' previous two games due to an illness, but Saints coach Dennis Allen recently explained that the 28-year-old has been dealing with a cluster of migraine headaches, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. With Washington potentially on his way to missing a third consecutive contest Sunday against the Eagles and Alvin Kamara (quadriceps/personal) carrying a questionable tag, David Johnson, Eno Benjamin and Taysom Hill could serve as the team's…read more

  • Dealing with migraine issues

    Saints coach Dennis Allen said that Washington is dealing with a cluster of migraine headaches and will be ruled out for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Washington also sat out each practice of Week 15 prep before being ruled out for Sunday's win over the Falcons. Allen added that the 28-year-old running back could be in line to miss multiple weeks while dealing with this issue, which would leave New Orleans without one of its core special-teams players moving forward. Washington hasn't recorded a rush attempt or catch since Week 9, so his absence won't affect the team's game plan on offense.

  • Ruled out

    Washington (illness) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Washington didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep due to an illness, so despite him being listed as questionable, it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Eno Benjamin (coach's decision) is also inactive, and Mark Ingram (knee) is out for the season, leaving David Johnson as the only active backup behind Alvin Kamara. However, Taysom Hill figures to get a few carries as well.

  • Iffy for Sunday

    Washington (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Washington didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep due to an illness, but he still has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the reserve running back is sidelined, newcomers David Johnson and Eno Benjamin would be the top backups behind Alvin Kamara.

  • Remains sidelined Thursday

    Washington (illness) was not seen during the open-viewing period of the Saints' practice Thursday, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Washington has now missed back-to-back practices while dealing with an illness to begin Week 15. While it's discouraging that he wasn't able to ramp up his activity Thursday, he'll still have one more practice to improve his status before Friday's final injury reports. If Washington does remain sidelined, then the Saints could be down a core special-teams asset Sunday versus Atlanta.

  • Dealing with illness

    Washington didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Washington landed on the injury report Wednesday as a non-participant due to an illness. The severity of the aliment remains unclear, but the backup running back will have two more opportunities to practice before the Saints need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

  • Could see slight usage increase

    Washington could be in line for more offensive snaps with No. 2 running back Mark Ingram (knee) expected to be out 4-to-6 weeks with an MCL tear, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Washington has been a core special-teams player for most of his career, logging just 83 offensive snaps over the past four seasons with New Orleans. The 28-year-old previously saw increased playing time and touches on offense earlier this season, when Ingram missed time with an MCL sprain from Weeks 8 through 11. However, Washington went on to garner just four touches over the final three games of Ingram's absence. Since then, Washington has reverted back to his normal special-teams role, and…read more

  • One offensive snap in shutout loss

    Washington had zero carries during Sunday's 13-0 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Washington tied his second-fewest number of offensive snaps (one) of the year as the Saints were held scoreless for the first time this season. The 28-year-old once again primarily played on special teams (16 snaps) despite serving as the team's No. 3 running back behind Alvin Kamara (undisclosed) and Mark Ingram, the latter of whom returned after missing the last three games with a sprained MCL. Washington could see increased usage on offense if Kamara, who did not return Sunday after being…read more

  • Zero carries in loss

    Washington did not record a rush on four offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-10 loss against Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Washington almost exclusively played on special teams during the Saints' lackluster offensive performance against Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old didn't have a chance to capitalize on the continued absence of No. 2 rusher Mark Ingram (knee), as New Orleans rushed for just 29 yards on 15 team carries. Washington logged just one more offensive snap than practice squad running back Jordan Howard, and neither figure to play a significant role against the Rams next Sunday.

  • Totals 14 total yards in loss

    Washington logged three rushes for seven yards and reeled in his only target for seven yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat against Baltimore.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old served as the Saints' de facto No. 2 running back with Mark Ingram out due to a sprained MCL. However, 23 of Washington's 28 snaps still came on special teams. With New Orleans' offense stymied for much of the game, starting running back Alvin Kamara handled nine of the team's 15 rushing attempts against Baltimore, while Taysom Hill and Andy Dalton split the other three. Washington should continue to play a minor role even if the Saints find more success on the ground versus…read more

  • Four carries in blowout win

    Washington compiled four rushes for 13 yards on 13 offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-0 victory against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Washington was called upon in mop-up duty, as all four of his rushes came with the Saints already up 24-0 in the second half. The third-string running back played just eight offensive snaps over the previous four games, but he stepped up after Mark Ingram exited in the first half with what was later revealed as a sprained MCL. However, Washington still finished as New Orleans' third-leading rusher behind Alvin Kamara and versatile tight end Taysom Hill, the latter of whom logged 10 rushes for…read more

  • Zero touches in loss

    Washington did not record a touch over two offensive snaps during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Washington served as the Saints' third-string running back behind Mark Ingram and Latavius Murray, who was bumped up from the team's practice squad with starter Alvin Kamara (ribs) sidelined Week 2. The 28-year-old was relegated back to a core special-teams role, playing at least 72 percent of New Orleans' special-teams snaps for the third game in a row. Washington also gave up the team's kick return duties with Deonte Harty back in the lineup after missing one game with a foot injury.

  • Primarily kick returning in loss

    Washington recorded 56 yards on three kickoff returns while exclusively playing on special teams (21 snaps) during Sunday's 22-14 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Washington reverted back to a core special-teams role with starting running back Alvin Kamara back Week 3. The 28-year-old also took over kickoff returns for the Saints after wide receiver Deonte Harty was ruled a healthy scratch ahead of Sunday's game. After recovering a muff on his first return, Washington averaged 18.7 yards per return while never making it past New Orleans' 25-yard line. The seventh-year running back has played at least 200 special-teams snaps in each of the last three…read more

  • Productive in limited role

    Washington recorded four carries for 18 yards during the Saints' 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old finished as New Orleans' second-leading rusher behind Mark Ingram (10 carries, 60 yards) with Alvin Kamara (ribs) sidelined against Tampa Bay. However, Washington only played a total of four offensive snaps, well behind Ingram (25 offensive snaps) and Tony Jones (32 offensive snaps), as most of his usage came on special teams. Washington will likely revert back to this role as a core special teamer once Kamara returns.

  • Will play Sunday

    Washington (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: With Alvin Kamara (ribs) out, Washington and Tony Jones are on hand to work behind Mark Ingram in the Saints' Week 2 backfield.

  • Chance to play Sunday

    Washington (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Washington was limited at practice all week but still has a chance to make his season debut Sunday. Alvin Kamara (ribs), Mark Ingram (ankle) and Washington are all questionable for Week 2, so it's unclear what the Saints backfield will look like against Tampa Bay.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Washington (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Washington didn't practice at all last week before being sidelined for the season opener. His return to practice is an encouraging sign, but if he isn't upgraded to a full participant Thursday or Friday, he could be in danger of missing a second straight game.

  • Out Sunday

    Washington (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons, Rod Walker of NOLA.com reports.

    Analysis: Washington wasn't expected to garner a major offensive role in the season opener, but he has been a major special-teams contributor over his past four seasons in New Orleans. The extent of his current hamstring injury remains unclear, but he didn't practice at all this week, so it's possible he'll be sidelined beyond Week 1.

  • Remaining in New Orleans

    The Saints re-signed Washington on Thursday.

    Analysis: Washington was promptly let go by the Saints on Wednesday after initially making the team's 53-man roster the day before, though he'll now return on a new deal after some slight roster restructuring. The 28-year-old running back registered 16 rushing yards on just four carries last year, though he played a core special-teams role (249 snaps) for New Orleans in 2021. Washington should also provide depth behind backup rushers Mark Ingram and Tony Jones this regular season.

    The Saints released Washington on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Washington signed a one-year deal with the Saints in April and initially made the team's 53-man roster, but he's been let go just one day later. The 28-year-old running back hasn't garnered a substantial offensive role since his rookie season in Detroit, but he was a solid special teams player across all four of his campaigns in New Orleans.

  • Re-signs with New Orleans

    Washington signed a one-year contract with the Saints on Monday.

    Analysis: Washington was drafted by the Lions in the seventh round of the 2016 Draft and has appeared in 71 regular-season games and four postseason contests. He's totaled 157 carries for 554 yards and one touchdown while catching 15 passes for 94 yards during his seven-year career. Since joining New Orleans in 2018, Washington has been a standout special-teams player and figures to garner a similar role in 2022.

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    Washington (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Washington was forced to miss Monday's loss to the Dolphins while in the health and safety protocols, though he should be poised to return for Sunday's matchup against Carolina. He has played nearly exclusively on special teams this season and has picked up only four carries and two receptions across 12 games as a result.

  • Not available Week 16

    Washington wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the Saints' deadline for Week 16 roster moves and won't be available for Monday's game against the Dolphins, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though he's listed as a running back, Washington makes his biggest for the Saints as a core member of their special-teams units, so his absence won't mean much from a fantasy standpoint. He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday and should have decent odds of getting cleared for the Saints' Week 17 game against the Panthers.

  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Washington was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: Washington joins a growing list of Saints players on the COVID-19 list ahead of Monday's matchup against Miami. If there's any good news for New Orleans, it's that none of the four running backs listed ahead of Washington on the depth chart is currently slated to miss the contest. As such, the impact of his potential absence would primarily be felt on special teams.

  • No offensive snaps despite injuries

    Washington did not log an offensive snap during Thursday's 31-6 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Considering New Orleans was down both Alvin Kamara (knee) and Mark Ingram (knee), it's clear that New Orleans doesn't view Washington as much more than a special-teams contributor.

  • Two touches in Kamara's absence

    Washington rushed twice for eight yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: With Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined, Mark Ingram commanded the vast majority of work out of the backfield while Washington was only a change-of-pace option who barely saw the field on offense. Even if Kamara remains sidelined in Week 11, Washington won't be worthy of fantasy consideration.

    Washington did not log an offensive snap during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: With Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram locked in atop the depth chart, Washington was only needed for reps on special teams, where he returned two kickoffs for a combined 39 yards.

  • Logs full practice

    Washington (neck) practiced in full Thursday.

    Analysis: Washington was limited in practice Wednesday but was able to give it a full go on Thursday. He hasn't seen the field since Week 5 against The Football Team, when he was injured on a helmet-to-helmet hit while on punt coverage. With the recent addition of Mark Ingram, it is likely Washington will primarily be relegated to special teams if he suits up Sunday against the Falcons.

  • Out again

    Washington (neck) will remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Washington absence will mark his second straight due to a neck injury. He was unable to practice all week, so this news is relatively unsurprising. He is primarily used on special teams when healthy.

  • Won't play Week 7

    Washington (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Seahawks, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Washington didn't practice at all this week, so it's not a surprise to see him ruled out for Monday's contest. When healthy, he is primarily used on special teams, so his absence shouldn't affect the Saints' offensive rotations.

  • Misses practice

    Washington (neck) has missed consecutive practices ahead of Monday's matchup with the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Washington's status for Week 7 will become more clear once Saturday's practice report is revealed. When healthy, he is primarily used on special teams to go along with providing depth at running back.

  • Logs two offensive snaps

    Washington logged two offensive snaps during Sunday's 33-22 win over the Football Team.

    Analysis: Despite speculation that Washington could serve as the No. 2 running back in the absence of Tony Jones (ankle), the kick return specialist was limited to two offensive snaps, possibly due to getting shaken up on a helmet-to-helmet hit on punt coverage during the second quarter. In the end, Alvin Kamara hogged 88 percent of the offensive snaps while Devine Ozigbo (seven snaps) and fullback Alex Armah (16) filled in behind him. While it seems possible that Washington could get a few offensive…read more

  • Looks like Kamara's top backup

    Washington was working with the second-team offense during warmups ahead of Sunday's game in Washington and is expected to serve as the No. 2 back behind Alvin Kamara, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Washington will bump up a spot on the depth chart after Kamara's previous top understudy, Tony Jones (ankle), was moved to injured reserve Wednesday. Since joining New Orleans in 2018, Washington has been deployed almost exclusively on special teams, logging only 79 offensive snaps across three-plus seasons. Even with Jones out of the mix, expect Washington to handle a light role on offense, most likely just subbing in when Kamara requires a breather.

  • Two touches in Jones' absence

    Washington rushed once for five yards while securing his only target for six yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: After seeing zero offensive snaps over the first three weeks of the season, Washington saw a couple of touches after Tony Jones was carted off with an ankle injury. If Jones needs to miss time, Washington's fantasy stock could rise depending on whether the Saints bring in any backfield reinforcements.

  • Stuck on special teams

    Washington logged 14 snaps on special teams during Sunday's 38-3 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Washington didn't see any action on offense as the No. 3 back behind Alvin Kamara and Tony Jones, nor did he get a chance to return a kickoff since Green Bay only kicked off once and it went for a touchback. The 27-year-old will look to get his first touch of the season when the Saints travel to Carolina in Week 2.

  • Moves up to No. 3 RB

    Washington is the Saints' No. 3 running back after Latavius Murray was released Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Washington was able to secure a spot on New Orleans' initial 53-man roster and has now moved up the depth chart since the team has parted ways with Murray. Washington had 16 carries for 75 yards in 27 games for the Saints over the past two seasons, and he's unlikely to have a significant offensive role in 2021 if Alvin Kamara and Tony Jones remain healthy.

  • Secures spot with Saints

    Washington secured a roster spot, Mike Triplett of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Washington probably won't see many offensive touches as long as Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray and Tony Jones are healthy, but he should continue to be a solid contributor on special teams, particularly at kick returner.

  • Solid preseason showing

    Washington rushed four times for 16 yards while catching two of two targets for 39 yards during Monday's preseason victory over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: After seeing no touches on six offensive snaps in the preseason opener, Washington was more involved offensively and he didn't get bottled up as frequently as Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman did. However, with Alvin Kamara and Tony Jones also above Washington on the depth chart, his case for a roster spot will likely come down to special teams. While he didn't return any kickoffs Monday, Washington returned two in the opener and through two preseason games his 24.0-yard average tops the…read more

  • Staying in New Orleans

    Washington signed a contract extension with the Saints on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Washington hasn't played more than 46 offensive snaps in any of the last three seasons with the Saints, but the 26-year-old offers dependable backfield depth, and he can contribute as a kick returner in a pinch. Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray (quadriceps) are both returning for 2021, so Washington's duties will be reserved primarily to special teams once again.

  • Totals 15 yards in 2020

    Washington rushed eight times for 15 yards over 11 regular-season games in 2020.

    Analysis: Washington saw very limited action as a running back this season, and he ended the year with one fewer touch than he saw in 2019, including no work as a receiver. He played primarily on special teams, and that's likely the role he'll fill in 2021 if he returns to the Saints. Washington will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after spending the last three seasons with New Orleans.

  • Returns from COVID list

    The Saints activated Washington (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Washington was forced to miss Week 17 after landing on the COVID list as a high-risk close contact, but he'll now be eligible to return to team facilities. Latavius Murray (undislosed) also returned from the COVID list Wednesday, though Alvin Kamara (illness) remains iffy for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Bears. Washington could see an increased depth role if Kamara can't go.

  • In COVID-19 protocol, out Sunday

    Washington was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and is out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Washington, along with Latavius Murray, are both considered high-risk close contacts to Alvin Kamara, who has tested positive for the coronavirus. As a result, all three will be sidelined for the regular-season finale. In their absence. Ty Montgomery should see a significant increase in reps at running back. New Orleans is also expected to promote Tony Jones from the practice squad, and Taysom Hill could potentially get some more run as well.

  • Logs three carries in win

    Washington rushed three times for six yards in the Saints' 31-3 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: With New Orleans leading this one comfortably throughout, the offense went on cruise control, leading to Washington's appearance. Coming into the contest, he sported five carries for nine yards on the season, all of which he racked up in a Week 9 rout of Tampa Bay. Unless the Saints are up big in a blowout, Washington is unlikely to take the field and will remain mostly a special-teams contributor.

  • No limitations Wednesday

    Washington (back) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Washington was sidelined the past two games by the back injury, but it appears he's healthy heading into Week 12. The 26-year-old is unlikely to have much of an offensive role as long as Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray continue to be available.

  • Set to miss second straight game

    Washington (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Washington can't seem to shake this back injury, and he wasn't able to practice this week. His absence won't affect the offensive dynamic much unless either Alvin Kamara or Latavius Murray suffers an injury, in which case Ty Montgomery would handle some backfield reps.

  • Inactive Week 10

    Washington (back) is inactive for Sunday's Week 10 tilt against the 49ers.

    Analysis: The reserve running back has only five carries on the year, so his third absence of the season should only have an impact on New Orleans' special-teams units. Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray will continue to handle the backfield workload for the Saints.

    Washington is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers with a back injury.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant, and he was unable to participate at Friday's session. Washington will need to show some improvement to be able to play Sunday versus San Francisco.

    The Saints activated Washington (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: After an 18-day stay on the list, Washington rejoined his teammates on the practice field and avoided Thursday's injury report entirely. It'll be interesting to see if he's active in his first potential game action of the season Sunday at Las Vegas, especially with Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray and Ty Montgomery in front of him on the depth chart.

    Analysis: It's unclear whether Washington has contracted the virus or come in contact with someone who has, but he'll need to pass the necessary protocols to return to the team.

  • Back in Big Easy

    Washington re-signed with the Saints on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Washington appeared in all 16 of the Saints' regular-season contests in 2019, playing a core role on special teams while contributing as a depth option out of the backfield. Across that span, he carried the ball eight times for 60 yards and caught his only target for six yards. He stands to play a similar role behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray in 2020.

  • Minimal role in 2019

    Washington rushed eight times for 60 yards and caught his only target for six yards while suiting up in all 16 of the Saints' regular-season contests in 2019.

    Analysis: Washington ends his second year in New Orleans with the fewest touches of his career, as Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray combined to miss just two games and consistently worked ahead of him. Despite his lack of involvement on offense, Washington was able to avoid the inactive list throughout the season thanks to his ability to contribute on the Saints' coverage units on special teams. An impending free agent, Washington could be retained by New Orleans if he's willing to accept a third-string…read more

    Washington (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Washington was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but he now looks back to full health. He'll serve as the No. 3 running back behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray during Sunday's wild-card clash against the Vikings.

Expect his practice availability throughout the week to shed a light on his chances to suit up Sunday. If he can't go, his absence will leave just Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray as healthy running backs.

    Washington carried three times for 20 yards in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.

    Analysis: Washington recorded his first touches since Week 8, providing some relief work in the blowout victory. As long as Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray are healthy, Washington is unlikely to carry fantasy value outside of the deepest leagues.

  • Doesn't record a touch

    Washington did not garner an offensive snap during Sunday's 26-9 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Between Alvin Kamara's return and the Saints playing from behind, Washington was relegated to special-teams duty after earning four total touches during Kamara's two-game absence. Washington saw the field for just seven offensive snaps while Kamara was out and hasn't played on offense in any other game this season. Expect that to continue Sunday against Tampa Bay's stout run defense, which is surrendering just 3.5 yards per carry, good for third best in the league.
