Washington (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Houston.
Washington will likely reclaim his power/short-yardage role from Zach Zenner, but with Theo Riddick (ankle) also cleared to return, the rookie can't hope for much more than the lesser half of a timeshare. While Washington's role did include goal-line carries prior to his injury, those high-value touches are difficult to come by in a pass-heavy Detroit offense. The team has 15 passing touchdowns and only three rushing scores.
