Overview
- Washington missed Friday practice and was officially listed as questionable before being downgraded to a game‑time decision on Sunday.
- ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler and team coverage say Washington is managing both foot and back issues with some optimism but that the Raiders want to see how he feels before kickoff.
- If Washington is inactive, Ashton Jeanty is expected to carry a heavier workload and rookie Dylan Laube would move into the primary backup role.
- The fourth‑round rookie has 168 rushing yards, one touchdown and three catches through six games, and coach Klint Kubiak has said Washington has earned more reps and leads the group in yards per carry.
- Washington’s availability matters for play calling because his burst and pass‑down work change how the Raiders can attack a Rams defense that has its own injury concerns.
