Carlos Washington Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs future deal with Atlanta The Falcons signed Washington to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.

Impact Washington will stick around Atlanta after spending the entirety of the season with the team's practice squad, earning one elevation to the active roster in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The running back played 10 snaps on special teams in the contest, failing to record any stats. With Tyler Allgeier set to become a free agent in the offseason, Washington could compete for the top reserve role behind Bijan Robinson in 2026.

Reverts to practice squad Washington reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

Impact Washington didn't record any stats across the 10 snaps he played on special teams during Sunday's loss versus the Buccaneers. The 2023 undrafted free agent will now await his next opportunity to be called up to the active roster.

Plays exclusively on special teams Washington played 10 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Undrafted rookie Nathan Carter was a healthy inactive, so Washington was elevated from the practice squad and served as the No. 3 running back behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allegier. The Robinson-Allegier duo is one of the best in the NFL, so it's going to be hard for Washington or Carter to carve out anything more than an emergency depth role in 2025.

Back with Atlanta The Falcons signed Washington to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Impact Washington was unable to play in any of the Falcons' three preseason games due to a hamstring injury, but he'll stick around in Atlanta on the team's practice squad. He spent most of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad but did play 11 snaps on special teams in Week 18 against the Panthers.

Not expected to play this week Washington (hamstring) is not expected to play in Atlanta's preseason finale against Dallas on Friday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Dealing with hamstring injury Washington has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury and will miss "some time," D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

AUGUST 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 16 Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact The Falcons signed Washington off the practice squad to the active roster Dec. 11 due to rookie running back Jase McClellan (knee) being placed on injured reserve. However, Washington will not play in Sunday's game as the Falcons roll with a three-man backfield of Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams. McClellan's next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 29.

Joins active roster The Falcons signed Washington to their active roster Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Washington's signing to the active roster likely comes in response to the Falcons' placing rookie running back Jase McClellan (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday. Expect Washington to serve as a depth piece in Atlanta's backfield for the remainder of the season, playing behind Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams.

Gets practice squad deal Washington signed with the Falcons' practice squad on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Impact Washington spent last season on the team's practice squad, but he never made it to the active roster. Despite starting multiple preseason games, the Southeastern Louisiana product was unable to secure a main-roster spot out of training camp and will once again be a member of the practice squad.

Let go by Atlanta Washington was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports.

Impact Washington signed a reserve/future contract with Atlanta in January, turning 29 carries in 71 yards and a touchdown on the ground while also adding two catches for 20 yards during the preseason. Although he didn't make the initial 53-man roster, it's possible that the running back sticks around with the Falcons' practice squad to open 2024 if he clears waivers.

Starts again Washington recorded four rushes for seven yards in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Jaguars. He added one reception on one target for seven yards.

Impact It wasn't an impressive stat line for Washington, but he was again the first running back on the field with neither Bijan Robinson nor Tyler Allgeier suiting up. Washington joined the Falcons as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 season and spent last year on the team's practice squad. Heading into 2024, he looks to be the favorite for the third spot on the depth chart.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for roster spot? Washington started Saturday's 13-12 preseason loss at Baltimore and took nine carries for 39 yards.

Impact With Bijan Robinson and Tyller Algeier rested, Washington was busy for much of the first half while working ahead of rookie sixth-round pick Jase McClellan for a second straight week. Adnan Ikic of The Falcoholic believes Washington, a 2023 UDFA, has the inside track to the No. 3 RB job, but McClellan did come on strong at the end of Saturday's game to finish with an 11-51-1 rushing line (scoring his TD in the final minute). Either way, the winner of the battle isn't likely to get Week 1 touches unless Robinson or Allgeier gets injured or Atlanta's game ends up being a blowout.
