Washington (Achilles) is active for Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Washington's ability to suit up Sunday was forecasted by his activation from the reserve/PUP list Saturday. If the veteran safety sees action against the Bengals, as expected, it will be his season debut after he tore his Achilles during conditioning in May. Washington may work in a rotational role and be on a snap count initially, but he could give Baltimore's secondary a big boost down the stretch given his key role with the team last season.

The Ravens activated Washington (Achilles) from the reserve/PUP on Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Washington was designated to return to practice Dec. 2 but was not activated ahead of last week's loss the Steelers. The 26-year-old will be eligible to make his season debut in Week 15 versus Cincy, but it's still unclear if he will indeed play. Washington tallied a career-high 64 tackles across 17 regular-season appearances with Baltimore last year.

Washington (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Despite practicing all week and even logging a full session Friday, Washington will not suit up for Sunday's game. The safety has put in a lot of work to return from the Achilles tear he suffered in late May, and the team is likely taking it slow to ensure the 26-year-old is a healthy piece for a potential playoff run.

Washington (Achilles) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington suffered an Achilles tear in May that has kept him relegated to the reserve/PUP list for the entire 2025 campaign until this point. The Ravens now have a 21-day window to activate the safety, or he'll remain on IR for the rest of the year.

The Ravens placed Washington (Achilles) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington is recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered in May, but there's optimism that he could be fully healthy late in the regular season. He played in all 17 regular-season games for the Ravens in 2024 and finished with career highs in defensive snaps (677), tackles (64), pass defenses (eight) and interceptions (two).

Washington (Achilles) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington tore his Achilles in May but is targeting a late-season return. The safety remains eligibly to practice while on the active/PUP list, though Washington's unlikely to do so considering his return timeline is expected to stretch well into the regular season, if he can play at all in 2025.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that he expects Washington (Achilles) to return by November or December, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington sustained a torn Achilles while training earlier in May, so it's no surprise the TCU product is expected to miss substantial time. He appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Ravens in 2024, recording 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, eight passes defended -- with two interceptions -- and one forced fumble. Sanoussi Kane is expected to serve as Kyle Hamilton's top backup while Washington remains sidelined.

Washington tore his Achilles during conditioning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI confirmed the tear, and Washington is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season. It's a brutal blow for the 25-year-old safety, who emerged as a key defender in the Ravens' secondary last season and tallied career bests in total tackles (64) and interceptions (two) across 17 regular-season games. Washington's absence opens the door for rookie first-rounder Malaki Starks to earn a starting role at safety alongside Kyle Hamilton.

Washington signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Ravens on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The undrafted safety from TCU has spent the past four seasons with the Ravens, appearing in 25 regular-season contests during that time. Washington is coming off a career year in 2024, playing in all 17 of Baltimore's regular-season games and tallying 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and eight passes defended, with two interceptions, across 833 total snaps (677 defensive, 156 on special teams). The 25-year-old served as the Ravens' top free safety last season and is expected to compete for role again throughout the summer.

The Ravens placed a Right of First Refusal Tender on Washington on Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Placing a tender on Washington allows the Ravens to match any offer that another team gives the 25-year-old safety out of TCU. He mostly served on special teams and in a rotational role in the Ravens' secondary in the first half of the 2024 season, but he entered the starting lineup in Week 8 and played a more significant role down the stretch. Washington finished the 2024 regular season with a career-high 64 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, eight pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble across 17 games.
