Ferguson was cut by Washington on Monday, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson did not join Washington's roster in 2019 until Week 15. He ultimately suited up for two games and accumulated nine yards on three carries. The journeyman running back will now look for a shot on his fourth different team as he enters his fifth year in the league.

Ferguson carried the ball just three times for nine yards during the 2019 campaign.
EDGE Analysis
The Redskins promoted Ferguson to the active roster Week 15 following the placement of Derrius Guice (knee) on injured reserve, leading to his only carries of the season. The fourth-year pro was also active Week 17 in Dallas, though he was limited to special teams. He'll compete for a depth/special-teams role in Washington in 2020.

Ferguson rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson was the only other Redskins running back besides Adrian Peterson to receive a carry, but the latter dominated the backfield touches with 16 totes for 66 yards and a touchdown. With Derrius Guice (knee) done for the year, Ferguson is second in line for carries, but would likely only become a true factor in Washington's run game if Peterson were to suffer an injury.

Ferguson was promoted to the active roster Tuesday, Zach Selby of the Redskins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Derrius Guice (knee) hitting injured reserve, Washington had a need for a running back. Ferguson has not appeared in an NFL game since 2017 with the Colts.

Ferguson signed with the Redskins' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Adrian Peterson (quad) and Chris Thompson (toe) both started the week on the injury report, so Ferguson will join the team as a potential depth option. The 26-year-old hasn't seen game action since 2017 with the Colts.

Ferguson signed with Washington on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old tailback joins Washington's backfield as an insurance policy in the event Chris Thompson (toe) can't play Week 7. Ferguson has not played a down since 2017 and has only 16 carries for 25 yards in his career.

Ferguson was released by the Texans on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson's role in Houston appears to have been made expendable following the acquisition of Duke Johnson. He'll look to catch on as a change-of-pace or pass-catching option with another club.

Ferguson is the player "most affected" by the Texans' acquisition of Duke Johnson, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Previously, there had been an open competition for slotting behind top back Lamar Miller, but with Johnson now the team's presumed No. 2/change-of-pace back, Ferguson's path to a significant pass-catching role out of the Texans' backfield is muddled.

Ferguson is competing for backup slotting behind top back Lamar Miller following the release of D'Onta Foreman, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Foreman no longer in the mix, there's a wide open competition for depth chart positioning behind Miller. Per Wilson, "Ferguson has displayed flashes as a third-down back adept at catching passes." Additionally, Ferguson's training camp effort has been praised by coach Bill O'Brien, and if the 5-foot-10, 205-pound back continues to shine, he could carve out enough of a change-of-pace role to merit deep-league PPR attention.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Wednesday that Ferguson is the top candidate for the team's third running back spot, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Lamar Miller and D'Onta Foreman sitting ahead of him on the depth chart, Ferguson seems to have a stranglehold on the third-down back role to this point. The 25-year-old running back has 16 carries for 25 yards and 23 receptions for 152 yards during his short career, though he failed to spend any time on an NFL roster this past season. Ferguson is expected to battle the likes of Buddy Howell (hamstring) and Taiwan Jones, among others, for that third-string spot.
