Overview
- Washington completed his first on‑grass running session this week in side‑field work with trainers, his earliest on‑field activity since the injury.
- Coach John Harbaugh called rehab reports “really positive” and said Washington is “getting close” to being cleared to practice.
- Washington remains on the physically unable to perform list and has not been medically cleared to join team drills.
- His eventual return would deepen the safety rotation with rookie Malaki Starks and veteran Alohi Gilman, enabling continued versatility for Kyle Hamilton near the line of scrimmage.
- The former undrafted free agent became a starter last season, recording 64 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble and a sack with strong Pro Football Focus grades.
