Either Zenner or Dwayne Washington (ankle) will start at running back Sunday against the Redskins, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Zenner was handed his second career start in wake of the Lions' continued tailback injuries last weekend, finishing with 58 yards on 14 rushes against the Ravens. Although teammate Theo Riddick (ankle) will remain sidelined this Sunday, Washington could overcome his own ankle injury to play, potentially giving Zenner competition for the start. However, given Washington's questionable status, Zenner could see a useful number of touches regardless. The Redskins' sixth-worst run defense makes his matchup favorable, but Zenner may have to compete for carries with both Washington and Justin Forsett.
