Casey Washington - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

Falcons' baffling WR decision turned Kirk Cousins' return into a complete disaster The Atlanta Falcons will already be without Drake London in Week 12, so healthy scratching Casey Washington is genuine malpractice.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Minor role continues Washington caught zero passes on two targets during Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills.

Impact Washington caught three of six targets for 33 yards while playing 95 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps during Week 1. Since then, his role has diminished. He missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to a concussion and caught one of three targets for 19 yards while playing 52 percent of the offensive snaps during his return in Week 4. Coming off a Week 5 bye, Washington saw more playing time in Week 6, likely due to Darnell Mooney (hamstring) being unavailable, and finished second among WRs in snaps behind Drake London. However, Washington finished with a season-low two targets and failed to catch a pass for the first time this season, save for the games he was inactive. As long as Mooney is dealing with an injury, Washington is a candidate for heavy snaps, but he's yet to take advantage of the opportunity.

One grab in Week 4 Washington caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.

Impact Washington was unable to get much going in his return from a concussion that sidelined him for the past two games. The second-year wideout played the second-most offensive snaps (34) of any Falcons wideout, behind just Drake London (55) and ahead of Darnell Mooney (29), Ray-Ray McCloud (23) and David Sills (15). Despite the solid playing time in his return, Washington should remain far off the fantasy radar going forward, barring injuries. The Falcons enter their bye week in Week 5 before hosting the Bills in Week 6.

Cleared to play Sunday Washington (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Washington missed the previous two games but will draw back into the lineup as a depth wideout behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud. Washington has three catches for 33 yards this season.

Logs full practice Washington (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Washington emerged from the Falcons' season-opening loss to the Buccaneers with a concussion and missed the last two games as a result. He didn't practice during Week 2 prep and then was listed as limited on four consecutive injury reports before getting back to all activity Thursday. There's been no indication that Washington has gained clearance from the protocol for head injuries, but he has two more days to do so ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
