Montrell Washington: Reverts to practice squad
The Chiefs reverted Washington to their practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kansas City elevated Washington from the practice squad ahead of Monday's contest against the Raiders, and he logged one special-teams snap and no offensive snaps in the loss. The elevation was his third of the campaign, so the Chiefs will need to sign him to their active roster if they want to utilize him in either of their final two regular-season games. Washington had been on the active roster earlier in the campaign, and he's played in six contests overall this season, logging 37 of his 39 snaps on special teams. He's recorded 61 punt-return yards and 20 kickoff return yards as a whole.

Chiefs' Montrell Washington: Signed to active roster
The Chiefs signed Washington from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.
Washington was elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's win against the Bears to serve as the team's returner and impressed enough to get a permanent spot on the roster. With Richie James (knee) on injured reserve, the 24-year-old will likely continue to serve as the primary returner for the near future.

Chiefs' Montrell Washington: Jumps to active roster
The Chiefs elevated Washington from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
A fifth-round pick of the Broncos in 2022, Washington was cut by the team during roster cut-downs in late August. Shortly thereafter, Kansas City signed him to its practice squad, but now that Richie James (knee) has landed on IR, Washington has been brought up to the active roster, likely to serve as the Chiefs' primary returner Sunday against the Bears. Washington averaged 8.5 yards on 32 punt returns and 18.9 yards on 18 kick returns in 15 games last season.

Montrell Washington: Heading to Kansas City

Montrell Washington: Heading to waivers
The Broncos waived Washington on Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Washington, a 2022 fifth-round pick, could realistically resurface on Denver's practice squad as long as he clears waivers. In 15 appearances as a rookie, he secured four of nine targets for two yards and logged five carries for 30 yards. With Tim Patrick (knee) out for the year and Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) in danger of missing serious time, emergency wide receiver depth will be significant for the Broncos.

Broncos' Montrell Washington: Completes quiet first season
Washington caught four of nine targets for two yards in 15 games this season. He also rushed five times for 30 yards.
Washington finished his rookie campaign with minimal production despite playing in all but two games. The 23-year-old wideout saw limited playing time throughout the season as he remained buried on the depth chart. Heading into the 2023 season, Washington will look to make an impression on Denver's new coaching staff. However, the 5-foot-10, 170-pound receiver will likely face another uphill battle for playing time with fellow wideouts Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick (knee) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) all under contract for next season. As Washington continues to develop, he will likely operate in a depth role going forward.
