Washington (ankle) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bears.
Washington received a scare last Sunday at New Orleans when he was carted off the field. However, he was merely diagnosed with a sprained ankle, which resulted in limited practice sessions during preparation for Week 14. Lead back Theo Riddick was a surprise inactive this Sunday due to a wrist injury, placing more of the onus on Dwayne Washington to fuel the ground game. Washington may handle a change-of-pace role, though, with Zach Zenner and potentially Joique Bell better candidates to run between the tackles.
