The Broncos placed Washington on the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington was unable to practice throughout the week with this illness, making it no surprise that he's been placed on Denver's NFI list. The veteran running back has appeared in 13 games for the Broncos this season, playing 247 of his 248 total snaps on special teams.

Washington (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran running back should be fine for Week 17. Washington has played just one offensive snap this season but has seen 247 on special teams as a key contributor in kick coverage.

Washington (illness) wasn't listed on Denver's injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Washington missed last week's win over the Browns with an illness but is now healthy again. The 29-year-old should be good to go for Sunday's game versus the Texans where he'll look to contribute on special teams.

Washington (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Browns, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington first appeared on the team's injury report Friday due to the illness, which will keep him from suiting up for a Week 12 matchup with Cleveland. His absence shouldn't impact the team's backfield, as Washington typically only sees snaps on special teams.

Washington (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Washington popped up on Friday's injury report after he did not participate in practice while dealing with an illness. All but one of his 158 snaps this season has been on special teams, as he's fourth on the backfield depth chart.

Washington played all 17 of his snaps on special teams Monday in the Broncos' 24-22 win over the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Washington has suited up for each of Denver's past eight games, but he's been deployed almost exclusively on special teams. He's played just one snap on offense and will continue to remain buried on the depth chart at running back behind Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and Samaje Perine.

The Broncos promoted Washington from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington will now join the Broncos' active roster as Jevonte Williams (hip) is expected to miss time. The 29-year-old will likely have most of his snaps come on special teams but could still see some playing time on offense behind Samaje Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin.

Washington reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Washington was called up ahead of Denver's win against Chicago and ended up playing seven snaps, all of which came on special teams. With Javonte Williams (hip) expected to miss some time, Washington could be in line to return to the active roster again.

The Broncos elevated Washington to the active roster Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since this is the third time the Broncos have called Washington up from the practice squad, the team will have to sign him to the active roster if it wishes to play him beyond Sunday's contest against the Bears. Washington has played 39 snaps in two contests -- all on special teams -- and is likely to reprise that role should he see the field in Week 4.

Denver reverted Washington to its practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Washington was elevated to the active roster for the second time this season Week 3 and saw all of his work on special teams, logging 21 snaps. He doesn't appear to be an offensive option for the Broncos while Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin are all healthy. Denver can elevate Washington from the practice squad once more this season before they'd need to sign him to the 53-man roster in order for him to play.
