Strictly playing special teams Patterson played 12 snaps on special teams in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Buffalo has four snaps on offense and 20 on special teams through the first two games of his pro career, operating as the No. 3 back in Washington behind Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. Any hope for a large role this season likely involves an injury to one of those two, but it is possible Washington could give Patterson a few more carries throughout the year if he continues to impress in practice. For the time being, he'll focus on special teams, continuing Week 3 at Buffalo.

Makes team Patterson appears to have a spot on Washington's initial 53-man roster, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Buffalo is one of three running backs left on the roster after Peyton Barber was released Tuesday morning, though it is possible Washington re-signs Barber after cutdown day (and thus avoids guaranteeing his salary). Even if Barber is brought back, the willingness to risk losing him suggests Washington is comfortable with Patterson in the No. 3 role. The rookie likely won't match Barber's contributions as a blocker or coverage man on special teams, but Patterson could get some touches on kick returns and would also offer a more explosive element if Washington ever needed to replace an injured Antonio Gibson or J.D. McKissic.

Excels again Patterson had 16 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 25 yards in Friday's 17-13 preseason win over Cincinnati.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Buffalo is making his case to unseat Peyton Barber as Washington's No. 3 running back, adding another strong performance Friday after taking 10 carries for a team-high 40 yards and four catches for a team-high 30 yards in the preseason opener. Even if Barber sticks around for special teams and/or short-yardage work, Patterson might convince Washington to keep four running backs on the Week 1 roster. And, if nothing else, he'll have a shot to be signed by another team should Washington try to sneak him on to the practice squad.
