Washington could be in line for more offensive snaps with No. 2 running back Mark Ingram (knee) expected to be out 4-to-6 weeks with an MCL tear, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Washington has been a core special-teams player for most of his career, logging just 83 offensive snaps over the past four seasons with New Orleans. The 28-year-old previously saw increased playing time and touches on offense earlier this season, when Ingram missed time with an MCL sprain from Weeks 8 through 11. However, Washington went on to garner just four touches over the final three games of Ingram's absence. Since then, Washington has reverted back to his normal special-teams role, and the Saints' recent addition of veteran David Johnson to the practice squad presents some competition for the No. 2 role behind Alvin Kamara once New Orleans comes out of its Week 14 bye.
