• Saints' Dwayne Washington: Totals 15 yards in 2020

  29D ago •

  Washington rushed eight times for 15 yards over 11 regular-season games in 2020. Washington saw very limited action as a running back this season, and he ended the year with one fewer touch than he saw in 2019, including no work as a receiver. He played primarily on special teams, and that's likely the role he'll fill in 2021 if he returns to the Saints. Washington will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after spending the last three seasons with New Orleans.

Washington, along with Latavius Murray, are both considered high-risk close contacts to Alvin Kamara, who has tested positive for the coronavirus. As a result, all three will be sidelined for the regular-season finale. In their absence. Ty Montgomery should see a significant increase in reps at running back.

  Washington rushed three times for six yards in the Saints' 31-3 win over the Broncos on Sunday. With New Orleans leading this one comfortably throughout, the offense went on cruise control, leading to Washington's appearance. Coming into the contest, he sported five carries for nine yards on the season, all of which he racked up in a Week 9 rout of Tampa Bay. Unless the Saints are up big in a blowout, Washington is unlikely to take the field and will remain mostly a special-teams contributor.

  Washington (back) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice. Washington was sidelined the past two games by the back injury, but it appears he's healthy heading into Week 12.
