Let go by Atlanta The Falcons released Washington on Sunday.

Impact Washinton was let go as part of a corresponding move to make space for recently-acquired safety Justin Simmons on the Falcons' 90-man offseason roster. The 28-year-old wideout last played with the Cowboys during the 2022 season when he appeared in just two games after fracturing his foot during training camp. Washington bounced around a few teams last offseason, but he went unsigned throughout the 2023 campaign and joined the Falcons on July 29, He'll now look for an comeback opportunity elsewhere this preseason.

Set to join Falcons The Falcons are slated to sign Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Washington last saw NFL regular-season action with the Cowboys in 2022, but the 2018 second-rounder did manage to record 114 catches for 1,629 yards and 11 TDs over four years with the Steelers (2018-21). With the Falcons, the 28-year-old will compete for depth slotting in a wideout corps currently led by Drake London and Darnell Mooney that also includes Ray-Ray McCloud, Rondale Moore and KhaDarel Hodge.

Gets opportunity with Giants The Giants signed Washington to their practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact Once he made a recovery from the fractured right foot he suffered in training camp, Washington struggled to carve out playing time in a crowded Dallas receiver room. Upon being cleared for his Cowboys debut in Week 14, Washington went on to play just 14 snaps over his two games with Dallas before being waived last week. Washington didn't have to wait long to find a new opportunity with another playoff team, and given the underwhelming state of the Giants' receiving corps, it wouldn't be surprising if he was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Vikings. Even if Washington doesn't debut with the Giants during the postseason, his presence on the practice squad will at least allow the organization to evaluate him for a potential signing heading into the 2023 season.

Isn't suiting up again Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Titans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact For the second consecutive game, Washington won't be available as a result of a coach's decision. In his absence, Noah Brown and T.Y. Hilton are both slated to serve as rotational wide receivers behind starters CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup in Week 17.

Healthy scratch Week 16 Washington (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Eagles, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Washington sat out the first 12 games of the season while recovering from a foot injury, and the 26-year-old has logged just one target while playing 14 offensive snaps since returning to action Week 14. With Washington sidelined, T.Y. Hilton appears set to serve as the Cowboys' No. 4 wideout while making his season debut Saturday.

Invisible in Dallas debut Washington failed to catch his only target and saw 11 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Texans.

Impact Seeing his first action of the season after recovering from a foot injury, Washington's workload was limited but he got a rude welcome to the Cowboys' offense, getting the ball jarred loose on a big hit by Houston safety Jalen Pitre the only time Dak Prescott looked his way. With Noah Brown having earned Prescott's trust earlier in the year and coming off a big performance Sunday, Washington could have a hard time climbing above the No. 4 spot on the WR depth chart down the stretch.

Set to play Sunday Washington (foot) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and will play Sunday against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Washington has not played this season after fracturing his foot during the preseason, but the long-time Steeler is gearing up to make his 2022 season debut in a pivotal divisional matchup against the Giants. Given the Cowboys' starting trio of wideouts -- CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup and Noah Brown -- are all healthy, it's hard to project many opportunities for Washington to carve out a consistent role. Expect the 26-year-old to be a quality depth piece for a team that has Super Bowl aspirations.

Expected to play in Week 14 Washington (foot) appears likely to be available for the Cowboys' Week 14 contest versus the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that he thinks that Washington is ready to go for Sunday's matchup after what he saw out of the wide receiver at practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Washington fractured his right foot in a training camp workout in August and has yet to make his team debut after signing a one-year deal with Dallas in March. He'll likely slot in behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup as the Cowboys' third option at wideout once he's up to speed.
