Fine for fall camp Washington (undisclosed) is fine for the remainder of Auburn's fall camp, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Washington did not practice last weekend, but after logging second-team reps during Wednesday's practice, all signs point to him being healthy and available going into the remainder of fall camp. He split second-team reps with Omar Mabson, so it appears the two will be fighting for backup opportunities behind projected starter Jeremiah Cobb. In an RB2 role, Washington replicating his 2025 season's excellent production would not be impossible but would remain difficult. During the year, he logged 154 rushing attempts for 788 yards and six touchdowns.

Absent during practice Saturday Washington (undisclosed) was absent during Auburn's Saturday practice, according to Peter Rauterkus of AL.com.

Impact Washington did not participate in Saturday's practice and he previously dealt with a foot injury during spring camp, so it is unclear if his current absence is related to that lingering issue. The team has yet to provide an official status update regarding his availability. Washington is currently competing for a significant role in a crowded Auburn backfield,

Healthy for spring camp Washington (foot) is healthy for Auburn's spring camp, Justin Ferguson of The Auburn Observer reports.

Impact Washington became full-go in the last few days, but full-go nonetheless. The running back transferred to Auburn from Baylor after back-to-back seasons with more than 150 carries, 750 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Though he does not change Power Conference levels, the question is whether all of Washington's skill set translates to the SEC, especially for a rebuilding program like Auburn.

Signs with Auburn Washington (foot) will transfer to Auburn, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.com.

Impact Washington spent three years at Baylor, and was highly productive over the last two seasons, totaling 1,816 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns. The veteran back will now join the Tigers, where he should immediately become one of the top dogs in the Auburn running back room. He'll have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Plans to enter portal Washington plans to enter the NCAA's transfer portal, On3 reports.

Impact After two excellent seasons with Baylor, but a downgrade in the latter campaign, Washington will test the NCAA's transfer portal for a better opportunity elsewhere. He has two years of collegiate eligibility remaining.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Exits game early Saturday Washington will miss the remainder of Saturday's game against Houston, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Washington was observed wearing street clothes and a boot on his right foot after being forced to exit the game early. The junior running back had totaled two carries for 16 yards prior to his departure.

Quiet in Saturday's loss Washington posted nine rushes for 51 yards and gathered in their only target for zero yards during Saturday's 41-17 loss versus Arizona. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Washington had another disappointing outing Saturday as he ran for just 51 yards and lost a fumble. He's now gone four consecutive games without a touchdown, a shocking turn of events considering he scored 20 touchdowns in his previous 20 appearances dating back to last season. He will look to end the season on a high note Saturday versus Houston in the regular season finale.

97 yards in loss Washington had 14 carries for 97 yards during Saturday's 55-28 loss against Utah.

Impact Washington put together a solid performance Saturday as he rushed for 97 yards, his most since Week 4. It was an especially impressive performance considering it came in a blowout loss. He will look to keep this momentum going Saturday at Arizona in the final road game of the season.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another disappointing outing Saturday Washington accrued nine rushes for 21 yards and caught 3 of 4 targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 30-3 victory over UCF.

Impact Washington rushed for under 25 yards in his third consecutive game Saturday, a shocking run of form from one of the best fantasy assets in the nation. He has run for just 2.5 yards per carry over the last three games, totaling just over 100 yards from scrimmage. He left Saturday's game with an injury before eventually returning, so that explains some of his lack of production. Next up he faces a difficult matchup versus Utah on Nov. 15.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in game Washington is back in Saturday's game versus UCF, per the ESPNU broadcast.

Impact Washington left Saturday's game in the first quarter due to an undisclosed injury, but he's now back in the game as the injury was clearly not serious. He's looking for a bounce back performance after two straight games with under 25 rushing yards.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Saturday with injury Washington (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus UCF, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Washington suffered an undisclosed injury in the first quarter Saturday, walked back to the sideline and was favoring his left leg. He has not been in the game since. If he cannot return, Caden Knighten and Michael Turner will lead the backfield for the Bears.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. Knights Washington (undisclosed) is good to go for Baylor's clash with Central Florida in Week 10, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Washington was knocked out of Baylor's Week 9 loss to Cincinnati with an undisclosed injury, but the tailback has recovered enough to play against UCF. Washington is the Bears' undisputed top tailback with 120 carries for 603 yards and six scores this season, along with 14 receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown.

On sidelines wtihout helmet Washington is on the sidelines without his helmet and didn't handle a carry in the third quarter, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Washington has been banged up in recent weeks and was apparently late returning to the field to join his teammates for the second half, presumably due to an issue of some kind. The redshirt sophomore back's status for the rest of the contest appears in doubt after tallying just seven carries for 23 yards in the contest, and freshman Michael Turner could lead the backfield the rest of the way.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Saturday Washington (undisclosed) has been upgraded to available ahead of Saturday's game at Cincinnati.

Impact Washington was listed as day-to-day earlier this week, and the bump in status means the star running back should handle his regular workload this weekend. Washington has 113 carries for 580 yards (5.1 YPC) and six touchdowns in five appearances this season.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day status remains Washington (undisclosed) is day-to-day again Monday, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact According to Smith on Saturday, the Baylor-TCU game is when Washington suffered his undisclosed problem. It indicates why Maurice Turner logged most of Baylor's rushing attempts at TCU. Day-to-day then, Washington's injury status remains unchanged. Thus, he is questionable for Baylor's upcoming game Oct. 25 at Cincinnati.
