The Chiefs signed Washington to the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Washington spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Chiefs' practice squad, and he was elevated for Week 8 against the Raiders and played 10 snaps (five on offense, five on special teams) but otherwise didn't show up in the box score. He was cut from the practice squad Dec. 30 in order to make room for linebacker Blake Lynch, but Washington is back on the practice squad and will be available for elevation to the active roster during the Chiefs' playoff run.

The Chiefs signed Washington to the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Washington spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Chiefs' practice squad, and he was elevated for Week 8 against the Raiders and played 10 snaps (five on offense, five on special teams) but otherwise didn't show up in the box score. He was cut from the practice squad Dec. 30 in order to make room for linebacker Blake Lynch, but Washington is back on the practice squad and will be available for elevation to the active roster during the Chiefs' playoff run.
The Chiefs cut Washington from the practice squad Monday. Washington signed with the Chiefs' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the active roster for Week 8 against the Raiders, during which he played 10 snaps (five on offense, five on special teams) and logged 14 kick return yards. Washington will have an opportunity to catch on with another team in need of wide receiver and special teams help.
Washington reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday. Washington saw his first action of the season but failed to record any offensive stats across the fine snaps he played. His only touch came on special teams, where he returned a kickoff for 14 yards. Washington will now wait for his next opportunity to be elevated.
The Chiefs elevated Washington off the practice squad Saturday, in advance of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Washington may get his chance to make his 2024 regular-season debut versus Las Vegas on Sunday. He suited up for six regular-season games with Kansas City in 2023, but he wasn't targeted in that span.
Washington signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday. Washington bounced back and forth between the Chiefs' practice squad and active roster in 2023, and he appeared in six regular-season games while mostly playing on special teams. He wasn't able to crack Kansas City's 53-man roster, but he'll return on the taxi squad.
Kansas City waived Washington on Tuesday. The 2022 fifth-round pick appeared in six games with the Chiefs during the 2023 season, but Washington won't be on their 53-man roster to start the new campaign. He's in line to become a free agent if he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period.
