Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
With Theo Riddick (ankle) ruled out for Sunday and Ameer Abdullah (foot) already shelved for the year, the Lions may not be able to afford a patient approach with Washington's injury. The team's other backfield options are plodding 2015 UDFA Zach Zenner, 31-year-old Justin Forsett (who was signed Tuesday) and 250-pound fullback Michael Burton. However, it's quite possible Washington still won't be available, as he just returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, after sitting out last week's win over the Eagles. If he does play, Washington would be the favorite to lead Detroit's backfield, as he passed Zenner on the depth chart without any problems before the season.
