Undergoes surgery on Achilles
Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Washington successfully underwent Achilles tendon surgery, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Washington landed on injured reserve in late September due to what was initially listed as an ankle injury, but it's an Achilles injury that the 2020 fifth-rounder is rehabbing from. The injury isn't a tear, and while a timetable for his recovery hasn't been shared by the Ravens, Harbaugh relayed that a return for Washington is not "imminent." John Jenkins will continue to work in an elevated role on the defensive line for as long as Washington is sidelined.

Undergoing ankle surgery
Washington is set to have surgery on his ankle, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Washington was placed on Baltimore's injured reserve list after Week 3 versus Detroit due to an ankle injury, and now he'll be getting surgery to address the issue. Coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that he doesn't know how it will impact his recovery timeline. Until he's back in football shape, John Jenkins should be expected to continue to see increased work on the defensive line.

Bound for IR
The Ravens placed Washington (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The sixth-year pro from Texas Tech will now be forced to miss the Ravens' next four games after moving to IR. Washington appeared in each of Baltimore's first three games this season, recording four total tackles and one pass defended. With Nnamdi Madubuike (ankle) also shifting to IR, the Ravens are expected to play Aeneas Peebles and Brent Urban as their top defensive ends in a Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs.

Won't play Sunday
Washington (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Washington has tallied four total tackles and one pass defended across the Ravens' first three games this season. In his absence, Aeneas Peebles is expected to see increased reps on Baltimore's defensive line.

Starts five games in 2024
Washington racked up 21 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 15 appearances (five starts) with Baltimore in 2024. He also had two passes defensed and one forced fumble.
ANALYSIS
Washington has two years remaining on his deal with the Ravens, though the team has a potential 'out' for only $1.85 million after the 2025 season. The 2020 fifth-round pick doesn't boast the production to be be considered a reliable fantasy asset in IDP formats, but he's got a fair path to reprising a starting role on defense for the 2025 campaign.
Dec 3, 2024
Picks up sack in loss
Washington recorded three tackles (three solo) including a sack and a forced fumble during Sunday's 24-19 loss versus the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Neither Washington's sack nor his forced fumble had any sway on the outcome of Sunday's contest, but they'll help bolster his overall stats in what has been a respectable season thus far. He'll remain locked into a starting role after Baltimore's bye in Week 14.

Past knee issue
Washington (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Washington has missed the Ravens' last two games due to a knee issue. He was limited in Wednesday's session, and his ability to practice without restrictions Thursday bodes well for his chances of playing against the Browns on Sunday. Washington has logged four tackles across five regular-season games this year.
Oct 20, 2024
Downgraded to out for Monday
Washington (knee) was downgraded to out for Monday night's game against the Bucs.
ANALYSIS
Washington was initially listed as doubtful, so he was never expected to play versus Tampa Bay. The fifth-year defensive lineman will miss his second straight contest after logging four tackles (zero solo) across 39 percent of the defensive snaps the first five weeks of the season.
Oct 11, 2024
Won't play in Week 6
Washington (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Washington didn't practice all week due to an apparent knee injury, so it's no surprise that the 27-year-old won't suit up Sunday. Expect Brent Urban to serve as Baltimore's top reserve defensive end while Washington is sidelined in Week 6.
Nov 16, 2023
Healthy scratch Thursday
Washington (coach's decision) is out for Thursday night's game against the Bengals, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle has five starts this season after signing a three-year contract extension in the offseason, but his defensive snap rate has dropped from 52 percent to 38 percent to 33 percent over the last three weeks. Washington has 12 tackles and a fumble recovery in 2023.

Earns new deal
Washington signed a three-year contract extension on Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

Good to go Sunday
Washington (concussion) is active for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old missed the past two games due to the concussion but is ready to take the field in Week 15. Washington could see increased snaps with Calais Campbell (calf) inactive Sunday.
Dec 16, 2020
Trending in right direction
Washington (concussion) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Washington was sidelined for the past two games due to the concussion, but he appears on track to return in Week 15. It's still unclear is Washington is officially cleared from the league's concussion protocol, but it's a good sign he practiced in full. Once officially cleared, expect Washington to assume his usual depth role on the Ravens' defensive line.
Dec 14, 2020
Unable to play Monday
Washington (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Washington will miss a second straight game, which will mainly affect the team's defensive line depth. The rookie practiced without limitations Saturday, indicating that he's nearing the end of the league's five-step concussion protocol. He stands a good chance to play next week against the Jaguars.
Dec 8, 2020
Out with concussion Tuesday
Washington is inactive for Tuesday's game against the Cowboys due to a concussion.
ANALYSIS
Washington apparently suffered the concussion during last week's loss to the Steelers and will be unavailable for Week 13. Jihad Ward and Justin Ellis will be the reserve options on the defensive line Tuesday for Baltimore.
Nov 30, 2020
Returns to active roster
Washington (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols after being declared a high-risk close contract of an infected individual. Washington may have a larger role on the defensive line Tuesday for Baltimore with numerous players still unavailable.
Nov 29, 2020
Moves to COVID list
Washington was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old is among the most recent group of players placed on the COVID-19 list following the Ravens' outbreak. Washington will be sidelined for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, at minimum.
Oct 14, 2020
Back to work Wednesday
Washington (illness) was absent from the team's injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
This is extremely positive news for the rookie out of Texas Tech, as he was forced to miss last week's game with an illness. Now healthy, Washington will resume his usual depth duties across the defensive line. Washington has just one assisted tackle through three games this campaign.
Oct 11, 2020
Dealing with illness
Washington (illness) won't suit up in Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what sort of ailment Washington is dealing with, but it's not known to be COVID-19 related. With the rookie out of Texas Tech missing action Sunday, Justin Madubuike and Jihad Ward will handle depth duties at defensive end.
