Washington is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington likely will miss the rest of the preseason, but coach Jon Gruden suggested the knee injury won't kill the 25-year-old's chances of making the 53-man roster. Washington is competing for one or two spots with Jalen Richard and undrafted rookie Chris Warren.

Washington (personal) retook the field for practice Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington temporarily left the team last week to tend to a personal matter, but he rejoined the fold Tuesday and should return to a battle with Jalen Richard for the third-string role behind Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin, with rookie Chris Warren also aiming for a roster spot.

Washington has missed the past three days due to a personal issue, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
An extended absence for Washington could allow Doug Martin and Jalen Richard to become the favorites in the backup running back battle behind starter Marshawn Lynch. The nature of Washington's personal issue is currently unclear, but he'll hope to return in time for the Raiders' preseason opener against the Lions on Friday as he races stiff competition rookie Chris Warren also pushing for snaps.

Washington is part of a deep Oakland backfield, with Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin and Jalen Richard also on the roster, Doug Williams of NBC Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynch is locked in as the Week 1 starter, but he'll likely give way to Washington or Richard on passing downs, and Martin is also in the mix to earn a role. Washington could lose his roster spot if he doesn't win the passing-down job, after averaging just 2.7 yards on 57 carries and 5.8 yards on 34 catches last season. Washington, Richard, Martin and undrafted rookie Chris Warren may end up competing for just two spots.

Washington rushed for three yards on two carries and caught two passes on three targets for no gain in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Washington's four touches resulted in just three total yards as his lack of production continued in Week 17. Washington finishes his 2017 campaign with 57 carries for 153 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 34 catches (on 45 targets) for 197 yards and one score in 15 games. The second-year running back solidified himself as the No. 2 option out of the Raiders' backfield behind Marshawn Lynch, but averaged a dismal 2.7 yards per carry, adding to the team's offensive struggles. Washington's regression came on the heels of a successful rookie season in which he racked up 467 rushing yards on 87 attempts for an average of 5.4 yards per carry. Oakland's offense figures to undergo some changes in 2018 after the firing of head coach Jack Del Rio, while offensive coordinator Todd Downing's job security is less than promising at this point as well. Washington's involvement in the offense may be affected by these amendments, but for now the trio of Lynch, Washington and fellow backup Jalen Richard is under contract through 2018.

Washington rushed for a loss of three yards on one rush and caught one pass on three targets for two yards in Monday's 19-10 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Washington continues to struggle on the ground as he's now totaled just 55 yards on 22 carries in six games since the Raiders' bye week. Despite logging less offensive snaps than Washington, fellow backup Jalen Richard was much more productive behind starter Marshawn Lynch on Monday night, racking up 56 total yards on just six touches. Washington will have one last chance in Week 17 against the Chargers to gain any sort of momentum heading into the Raiders' offseason.

Washington rushed twice for three yards and caught two passes on three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Washington logged his lowest offensive snap count (11) since Week 9 against Miami, while starter Marshawn Lynch paced the Raiders' backfield once again with 76 yards on 16 carries to go along with three receptions on four targets for 16 yards. Fellow backup Jalen Richard has earned just one carry throughout Oakland's past three contests, despite Washington's poor average of 2.3 yards per carry during that span. Washington is slated to continue playing second fiddle to Lynch in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Washington rushed four times for nine yards and added one reception on two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Washington logged just 14 offensive snaps for a third consecutive week as starter Marshawn Lynch led the Raiders' backfield with 61 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. Washington has now averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry in four straight games, while his fantasy relevance remains limited to deeper leagues heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Cowboys.

Washington rushed for 16 yards and a touchdown on six carries during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Washington failed to record a single reception for the first time since Week 4 and rushed for a dismal 2.7 yards per carry against the Giants, but he notched his second rushing touchdown of the season to salvage any fantasy relevance. Washington also out-paced fellow backup Jalen Richard in terms of touches, as the latter logged just one carry for four yards to go along with a five-yard reception.
