ESPN's Jeremy Fowler notes that Washington Jr. is a \"game-time decision\" to play, and the team will assess his condition before making a final call. The 26-year-old running back, a fourth-round pick in the 2023 draft, has played in the team's first six games, accumulating 168 rushing yards and a touchdown while backing up Ashton Jeanty. Washington Jr. outperformed Jeanty in their previous matchup against the Buffalo Bills, amassing a 43-22 advantage in rushing yards despite playing with nine carries compared to Jeanty's ten.
