The Ravens activated Washington (Achilles) from the reserve/PUP on Saturday and list him as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
Washington was designated to return to practice Dec. 2 but was not activated ahead of last week's loss the Steelers. The 26-year-old safety will be eligible to make his season debut Week 15, but it's still unclear if he'll play. Washington tallied a career-high 64 tackles across 17 appearances with Baltimore in 2024.

Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: Not returning just yet
Rotowire
Washington (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Despite practicing all week and even logging a full session Friday, Washington will not suit up for Sunday's game. The safety has put in a lot of work to return from the Achilles tear he suffered in late May, and the team is likely taking it slow to ensure the 26-year-old is a healthy piece for a potential playoff run.

Rotowire
The Ravens placed Washington (Achilles) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: Staying in Baltimore
Rotowire
Washington signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Ravens on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The undrafted safety from TCU has spent the past four seasons with the Ravens, appearing in 25 regular-season contests during that time. Washington is coming off a career year in 2024, playing in all 17 of Baltimore's regular-season games and tallying 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and eight passes defended, with two interceptions, across 833 total snaps (677 defensive, 156 on special teams). The 25-year-old served as the Ravens' top free safety last season and is expected to compete for role again throughout the summer.

Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: Tendered by Baltimore
Rotowire
The Ravens placed a Right of First Refusal Tender on Washington on Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Placing a tender on Washington allows the Ravens to match any offer that another team gives the 25-year-old safety out of TCU. He mostly served on special teams and in a rotational role in the Ravens' secondary in the first half of the 2024 season, but he entered the starting lineup in Week 8 and played a more significant role down the stretch. Washington finished the 2024 regular season with a career-high 64 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, eight pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble across 17 games.

Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: Gets another interception Sunday
Rotowire
Washington recorded five tackles (two solo) and an interception during Sunday's 35-14 win against the Giants.
Washington came down with a jump ball thrown deep between the numbers late in the fourth quarter, preserving a 35-14 Ravens lead and setting his team up to run out the clock. He also played all 60 of Baltimore's defensive snaps Sunday, and he figures to play a near every-down role again in Week 16 versus the Steelers.

Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: May sit out Week 15
Rotowire
Washington is dealing with a personal matter and is questionable to play against the Giants on Sunday.
Washington isn't traveling with the Ravens to New Jersey on Saturday, but there's still a chance he will arrive on his own and suit up against the Giants. The fourth-year pro has stepped into an every-down role of late, logging 100 percent of Baltimore's defense snaps in each of the team's past three games. If Washington can't play Sunday, Marcus Williams could be asked to step up.

Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: Solid showing in loss
Rotowire
Washington recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 24-19 loss versus the Eagles.
Washington once again led Baltimore's cornerbacks in snaps (54) in Week 13, and he posted his second-highest tackle total of the season so far. He should remain heavily involved in the Ravens' defensive backfield after their bye in Week 14.

Rotowire
The Ravens activated Washington (chest) from injured reserve Friday.
Washington, however, remains questionable for Saturday's tilt with the Texans. He hasn't played since Week 2 but did open the season as a near-full-time player in the Ravens' secondary. Washington's return would be a boost with Marlon Humphrey (calf) out versus Houston.
