Casey Washington - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Joins Carolina's practice squad The Panthers signed Washington to their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Washington was unable to earn a roster spot with Carolina after having signed with the team last month but is now set to stick around on the practice squad. The 25-year-old has caught just seven passes for 108 yards across 15 career appearances and is unlikely to contribute to the Panthers' offense even if elevated.

Signs with Carolina The Panthers signed Washington to a contract Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact With fellow wide receiver Dan Chisena (undisclosed) being placed on injured reserve, Washington will get his chance to contend for a depth role with the 2026 Panthers. The 25-year-old was waived by the Falcons in mid-June, having produced seven receptions for 108 yards over 15 career regular-season games.

Dropped by Falcons Washington was waived by the Falcons on Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of Bowtie Sports reports.

Minimal output in reserve role Washington caught six of 14 targets for 94 yards across seven regular-season games in 2025.

Impact After being limited primarily to special-teams work during his rookie campaign (47 special-teams snaps and nine on offense), Washington logged a career-high 180 offensive snaps in 2025. Across his first two NFL seasons, the Illinois product has caught seven of 16 targets for 108 yards while operating as a depth piece in the Falcons' wide receiver room. Washington remains under contract through the 2027 season and is expected to retain a similar role for Atlanta next year.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Seattle Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Washington will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game despite the continued absence of Drake London (knee). Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts will lead the Falcons' pass catchers Sunday that also consists of David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins. Washington's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Buccaneers, though he's unlikely to play in that contest unless the Falcons require additional depth at wide receiver.

Healthy scratch vs. NOLA Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Even with Drake London (knee) sidelined for Sunday's game, Washington will be a healthy scratch for Week 12, with the latter seeing less playing time on offense as of late. With London and Washington inactive, the Falcons will go with five active wide receivers in Darnell Mooney, David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge, Jamal Agnew and Dylan Drummond. Washington's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 30.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Past back injury Washington (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A back injury prevented Washington from playing against the Patriots in Week 9, but his ability to practice in full indicates that he is on track to play against the Colts on Sunday. The second-year wideout has caught six passes on 14 targets for 94 yards across five regular-season games, and his return could result in a dip in offensive snaps for David Sills and KhaDarel Hodge.

Falcons look for more consistency to end seven-year playoff drought

The only thing consistent about the Atlanta Falcons’ 2025 season is their inconsistency

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • Associated Press

Sidelined for Week 9 Washington (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Washington has played a depth role in the Falcons' wide-receiver corps this season, catching six of 14 targets for 94 yards over five appearances. Jamal Agnew could play a larger offensive role with Washington out in Week 9.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Thursday Washington (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact A back injury prevented Washington from practicing Wednesday, but he took a step in the right direction by logging a limited session Thursday, and he would likely avoid an injury designation for Week 9 against the Patriots if he were to practice in full Friday. Washington played just four offensive snaps against the Dolphins in Week 8, and he would remain in a limited role on offense if Drake London (hip) is cleared to play against New England.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Washington (back) didn't participate in Atlanta's practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Impact Washington popped up on the injury report after catching one pass for 25 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Dolphins. With Drake London (hip) and Darnell Mooney (hamstring) also dealing with injuries, the Falcons could be shorthanded at receiver for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

One grab in Week 8 Washington secured his lone target for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Washington played just four of the 50 offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest snap total of the season. Despite Drake London (hip) being sidelined for the contest, the 24-year-old Washington was not involved much in what ended up being a surprisingly weak offensive attack against a subpar Dolphins defense. The second-year wideout remains far off the fantasy radar based on his limited usage. Up next for the Falcons is a matchup against the Patriots in Week 9.

Season-low 11 snaps in loss Washington caught one of two targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Washington played a season-low 11 offensive snaps Sunday, fourth most among Atlanta's wideouts. He's garnered multiple targets in every game he's suited up for this season, but his only multi-catch game came in Week 1, when he secured three of six receptions for 33 yards against Tampa Bay.
