Overview

• Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported that New York released wide receiver and returner Montrell Washington after the preseason finale.
• Washington, 26, was cited as an early training camp star and logged seven catches for 105 yards this preseason, plus limited punt and kickoff returns.
• He had developed noticeable chemistry with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart during camp, according to multiple reports.
• Ihmir Smith-Marsette and recently re-signed Gunner Olszewski are viewed as the primary contenders for the lone receiver/returner spot.
• Some outlets note Washington could be considered for the practice squad, though Duggan indicated early cuts typically are not in the team’s plans.
