Carlos Washington: Breaking News
The Falcons signed Washington to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports. Washington will stick around Atlanta after spending the entirety of the season with the team's practice squad, earning one elevation to the active roster in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The running back played 10 snaps on special teams in the contest, failing to record any stats. With Tyler Allgeier set to become a free agent in the offseason, Washington could compete for the top reserve role behind Bijan Robinson in 2026.
Washington reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday. Washington didn't record any stats across the 10 snaps he played on special teams during Sunday's loss versus the Buccaneers. The 2023 undrafted free agent will now await his next opportunity to be called up to the active roster.
