DEANDRE WASHINGTON NEWS

Not spotted at Wednesday's practice Washington (undisclosed) is not present at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Washington led a Miami backfield that's been decimated by injury Week 12, but it now looks like he may also be banged up. On a positive note for the team, Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday and Myles Gaskin (knee) appears to be inching toward a return from IR.

2 QBs and stingy defense have Dolphins in playoff contention

The way the Miami Dolphins are playing defense, it doesn’t matter who they have at quarterback

NOVEMBER 30, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Inefficient in lead role Washington had 13 carries for 49 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets. He also hauled in two of five targets for 11 yards.

Impact Washington got an opportunity to lead Miami's backfield with both Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) and Myles Gaskin (knee) out, and he saw five more carries than co-starter Matt Breida. The former Chiefs running back wasn't able to do much in his opportunities, however, as he averaged just 3.8 yards per carry and failed to reach the end zone. If either Ahmed or Gaskin are able to return Week 13 against the Bengals, Washington will stand to revert to a depth role.

Inactive Week 11 Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Broncos.

Impact The recent trade acquisition logged just four offensive snaps in his team debut Week 10 against the Chargers, and with Matt Breida returning from a hamstring injury Sunday, Washington will revert to inactive status. The former Raider and Chief will next have a chance to suit up in a Week 12 matchup against the Jets.

Minimal involvement in team debut Washington had two carries for two yards during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Chargers.

Impact Washington only handled four offensive snaps in his first action as a Dolphin. Following the team's decision to waive Jordan Howard, it's possible that Washington sees more opportunities Week 11, but he currently seems to be firmly behind both Matt Breida (hamstring) and Salvon Ahmed on the depth chart.

Impact Washington was acquired at the trade deadline from the Chiefs and first had to undergo mandatory COVID protocols being eligible to practice and subsequently play. With all clearances now under his belt and multiple backfield mates out of action Sunday, Washington seems to have a legitimate opportunity to work as a potential complementary/change-of-pace option next to Ahmed on Sunday. facing a Chargers defense that's given up a robust 53-321-3 line through the air to running backs. Washington has only four touches all season, but he just turned in a career-best 36-292 line as a receiver out of the backfield for the Raiders in 2019.

Clears COVID protocols Washington will be eligible to play in Week 10, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Washington was dealt from the Chiefs to the Dolphins on Tuesday, but he wasn't eligible to play in Week 9 while clearing the league's COVID-19 protocols. He'll be allowed to practice with the team and potentially suit up for Week 10 against the Chargers.

NOVEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not eligible for Week 9 Washington will not be eligible to play for the Dolphins until at least Week 10 due to COVID-19 protocols, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Impact Washington, who was traded by the Chiefs on Tuesday, won't have a chance to make his debut for the Dolphins until Nov. 15 against the Chargers at the earliest. With Myles Gaskin (knee) on IR and Matt Breida (hamstring) not practicing, that could leave Miami with a backfield combination of Jordan Howard, Patrick Laird, Lynn Bowden and Salvon Ahmed during Sunday's game in Arizona.

Shipped to South Beach The Dolphins acquired Washington and a 2021 seventh-round pick via trade from Kansas City for a 2021 sixth-round pick Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Washington was buried on the depth chart in Kansas City, as he suited up in just one game and logged four touches for seven yards. He'll get a fresh start in Miami, though the Dolphins have a crowded running back room as well. Myles Gaskin has been the bell cow thus far with 18.6 touches per game, while Matt Breida has served in a change-of-pace role, and Jordan Howard has been a healthy scratch lately. Washington likely won't garner much of a role, but he'll add backfield depth to a Dolphins team that finds itself as a playoff contender after seven games.

Healthy inactive Sunday Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Jets, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Washington is the odd man out after the team signed Le'Veon Bell a few weeks ago, as the Chiefs will roll out four running backs for Sunday's game versus the Jets. The 27-year-old will continue to add depth for the AFC favorites, but barring an injury ahead of him on the depth chart, Washington likely won't play much this year.

NOVEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Four touches in season debut Washington rushed three times for five yards and hauled in his lone target for another two Sunday versus the Broncos.

Impact Washington was elevated to the 53-man roster Thursday and found his way into the contest late in the game with the Chiefs comfortably ahead and entering the backups. He's unlikely to see much, if any, work moving forward with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Le'Veon Bell both clearly ahead of him, and Darrel Williams also vying for reps out of the backfield.
