What the analysts are saying
“Washington has been battling an undisclosed injury of some kind for a little while now, but he was back and participating at practice on Tuesday. That's a good sign that he is close to full health, especially considering that it was a joint practice with the Buccaneers. He seems to be fully on track to play in Week 1 and remains an intriguing late-round dart throw if healthy.”
