Latest

Mike Washington Jr.’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. Las Vegas drafted him in the fourth round (No. 122 overall) out of Arkansas in 2026, and he has no injury designations this season.

He played 12 snaps (19%) in the Week 2 win over the Chargers, per Yahoo Sports. In August, CBS Sports reported he was in line for first-team carries after Ashton Jeanty sprained his ankle in practice.

Fantasy Action: Washington is a pure handcuff: roster him in deeper leagues or if you own Jeanty, but his small snap share makes him no standalone flex play while Jeanty is healthy.
