Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. was listed as limited during practice Wednesday, October 21. This isn’t just a bump or bruise; he is officially dealing with issues in both his back and foot.
Injury Flare-Up Hits After A Strong Performance
Talk about a gut punch. Washington Jr. was just coming off one of his better games of the season, really showing out. Now, less than a week later, he is stuck in limited practice. That back and foot combo is always a concern, especially for a guy who makes his living taking hits. It definitely throws a wrench into any momentum he might have been building.
What This Means For His Workload And Your Fantasy Lineup
So, what does this actually mean? If he even suits up this week, expect a super limited workload. That’s the call, straight from Raiders.com. For anyone counting on him in fantasy football, it’s a rough scene. He’s probably not a starting option right now. Your best bet for fantasy? He is a handcuff for Ashton Jeanty, just in case something bigger happens. It is a tough spot when a player gets dinged up right after getting into a groove.
All eyes will be on his status for this week’s game. Hopefully, those back and foot issues clear up fast, because nobody wants to see a player sideline right when they’re hitting their stride.
