Malik Washington - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Four touches against Raiders Washington caught all three of his targets for 11 yards and added one rush for seven yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.

Impact Washington's 40 percent snap share Sunday was his largest of the season, though the rookie wideout was unable to produce much on his four total touches in the contest. The Dolphins have made it a point to get the ball in his hands a few times in recent weeks, hoping for a spark in what has been an underwhelming offensive attack compared to Miami's high-powered offense in 2023. Even so, Washington lacks enough usage to make him fantasy relevant behind fellow wide receivers Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Odell Beckham. The Dolphins are set to host the Patriots in Week 12.

Scores first career TD Washington secured one of two targets for 17 yards during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams. He also scored an 18-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry.

Impact The rookie sixth-round pick showcased his dynamic speed in limited opportunities Week 10, with his first career touchdown coming on an end-around in which he benefited from De'Von Achane acting as a misdirection. He also worked as the Dolphins' top punt returner, racking up 21 yards on three fielded returns. After a strong primetime performance, Washington may be able to push for more involvement versus the Raiders in Week 11.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to one carry in Week 9 loss Washington was not targeted during Miami's 30-27 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He rushed once for nine yards.

Impact Washington played nearly double the amount of offensive snaps (35 percent) as Odell Beckham, but the veteran wideout managed to draw three more targets. A rookie sixth-round pick, Washington's only offensive touch Sunday came in the form of a nine-yard carry, and the only punt return he fielded went for minus-one yards. Washington will look to make more of an impact on the road versus the Rams on Monday Night Football.

Records two grabs vs. Colts Washington secured two of three targets for nine yards during the Dolphins' 16-10 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact Washington worked as Miami's third wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, handling 25 offensive snaps while Odell Beckham played just 11. Beckham may still be ramping up in his return from injury, but Washington's involvement is encouraging, even if the Dolphins' offense without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been unable to find any consistent production. Tagovailoa may be a candidate to return from IR in time to play Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Records two grabs versus Indy Washington secured two of three targets for nine yards during the Dolphins' 16-10 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact Washington worked as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, handling 25 offensive snaps while Odell Beckham played just 11. Beckham may still be ramping up after returning from a hamstring injury, but Washington's involvement is somewhat encouraging, even if the Dolphins' offense without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been a massive disappointment. Tagovailoa may be a candidate to return from IR in time to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals, but that would primarily help Hill and Waddle, not the team's depth WRs.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Week 5 Washington (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Washington was limited in all three of Miami's practices but will play through his injury for the second consecutive game. He played only 14 snaps on offense in his Week 4 NFL debut, and the rookie sixth-round pick will likely be deployed in a limited role again Sunday.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited session Wednesday Washington (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The rookie wideout played through his quadriceps issue in Week 4's loss to the Titans, hauling in his only target for eight yards across 14 offensive snaps. Washington is projected to continue playing through this quadriceps injury in Week 5 unless his practice participation downgrades either Thursday or Friday.

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs first career catch Washington secured his only target for eight yards during Monday's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Impact Washington played 26 percent of offensive snaps in his NFL debut. The rookie sixth-round pick missed the first three games of the season due to a quadriceps injury, but he played the same amount in Monday's loss to Tennessee as Braxton Berrios Dee Eskridge, who was elevated from the practice squad. Washington will look to earn more involvement against the Patriots on the road in Week 5.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Active versus Titans Washington (quadriceps) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Titans.

Impact Washington is thus slated to make his regular-season debut after missing the Dolphins' first three games. In his return to action, the 2024 sixth-rounder will be in the mix (along with Braxton Berrios and Dee Eskridge) to log snaps behind top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but until he gets a full and productive game in, the rookie out of Virginia will remain a speculative fantasy option.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Week 4 Washington (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Titans, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 2024 sixth-round pick has yet to make his NFL debut after sustaining a quadriceps issue in early September, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to suit up Monday night. Miami currently has just three wide receivers on its active roster without an injury designation, so Washington could see a decent amount of work if he's able to play through injury in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Friday Washington (quadriceps) remained limited in Friday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The sixth-round rookie wideout has yet to play in a regular-season game for Miami, as he's dealt with the quad issue since the practice week leading up to Week 1.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited in practice Washington (quadriceps) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Washington was also practicing on a limited basis Week 3, prior to being ruled out for Miami's loss to the Bills on Thursday Night Football. Now having benefited from a few extra days of rest, the rookie sixth-round pick will work to get healthy in time to make his regular-season debut versus the Titans on Monday. Washington may need to log at least one full practice session Friday or Saturday in order to be cleared for Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Washington (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Washington, who was limited in all three of the Dolphins' practices this past week, approached the contest listed as doubtful. With his NFL regular-season debut still on hold, Braxton Berrios is on hand to work as the team's No. 3 WR behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, with practice squad elevations Dee Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma also available as depth options versus Seattle.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Week 3 Washington (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Washington was limited in all three of Miami's practices during the week, but it looks like the rookie sixth-round draft pick's NFL debut will likely have to wait another week. Even if Washington were to suit up Sunday in Seattle, his impact would likely be minimal, with Miami's entire passing game expected to be held back by the downgrade from Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) to Skylar Thompson under center.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Washington (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The 2024 sixth-round pick missed all three sessions leading up to Week 2, so he's making progress toward his NFL debut. Washington's status Friday will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks. The wide receiver might be able to challenge Braxton Berrios for Miami's third spot behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Wednesday Washington (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Washington was unable to play the first two games of the regular season due to a quadriceps injury he sustained in early September. He missed all three practices leading up to Week 2 against the Bills, but the rookie sixth-round pick returned to the field Wednesday. If Washington can continue to make progress this week, then he could make his NFL debut Sunday against the Seahawks and see some work as a depth wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Wednesday Washington (quadriceps) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact Washington wasn't able to practice in any capacity Week 2 before being ruled out to face Buffalo, but per Schad, he's feeling good after Wednesday's session. The rookie sixth-round pick will work to keep making progress and get the green light for his regular-season debut during Sunday's game against Seattle, a contest in which Skylar Thompson will start under center for Miami.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 2 Washington (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Washington will miss a second consecutive game, and the 2024 sixth-round draft pick's next opportunity to make his NFL debut will come Sept. 22 in Seattle. Perhaps the extended time between games will provide enough recovery time for Washington to heal, but he didn't appear particularly close to playing Thursday, having failed to practice in any capacity leading up to the game.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as DNP again Washington (quadriceps) is listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Dolphins only logged a walk-through practice Tuesday and released an estimated injury report Monday, but it's worrying to see Washington listed as a non-participant twice in a row. The rookie sixth-round pick missed Week 1 and looks like he could be in danger of also having to sit out Thursday's game against the Bills.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starts week with DNP Washington (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Washington missed the team's Week 1 win over the Jaguars with the injury,and given the short week ahead, may be in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Bills. However, it's worth noting that the Dolphins didn't hold an actual practice Monday, so Washington's participation level was just an estimate. More clarity on his potential to suit up Week 2 should be available Tuesday.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starts week with DNP Washington (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dolphins list Jalen Ramsey as questionable, rule out Malik Washington Malik Washington’s NFL debut won’t happen Sunday, the Dolphins announced.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • USATODAY.COM

Won't make debut Week 1 Washington (quadriceps) did not practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Washington began the week with back-to-back limited practices before being downgraded to a non-participant Friday. The rookie sixth-round pick was facing notable opportunities to contribute Week 1, with both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) out until Week 5 at the earliest, but he'll have to first return to full health. Braxton Berrios is thus positioned to serve as Miami's third wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, with Grant DuBose positioned as the team's No. 4 option.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted at Friday's practice Washington (quadriceps) is not present at the early potion of Friday's practice open to the media, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Washington was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a quad injury, so if he's been downgraded to a non-participant Friday it will bode poorly for his chances of suiting up Week 1. Friday's official practice report will provide Washington with an injury designation for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to begin week Washington (quadriceps) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Washington appears to be dealing with a minor quad injury, considering that he managed to remain fully healthy throughout the preseason. The rookie sixth-round pick is facing immediate opportunities to contribute if he can get healthy, with both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) ruled out for at least the first four games of the year. Braxton Berrios has the experience to immediately work as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but health permitting, Washington should have a chance to contribute as a depth option early in his career.
