Saints designate Dwayne Washington to the NFL's COVID-19 list

The New Orleans Saints added running back Dwayne Washington to the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list on Aug. 30, making him their fourth player to be sidelined due to the public health crisis. However, it’s unclear whether Washington received a positive test result or was exposed to someone who had; those sort of details are not made public knowledge.

Each of Washington’s three teammates to previously go through the reserve/COVID-19 protocol were cleared within a few days: linebacker Kaden Elliss, long snapper Zach Wood, and wide receiver Deonte Harris all retested negative after a brief time away from the team. Hopefully this is nothing serious for Washington’s personal health.

He’s been competing with Ty Montgomery and undrafted free agent Tony Jones Jr. for a backup job behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray. Washington probably had an inside edge on that roster battle after standing out on special teams (where he played 295 snaps in 2019, third-most on the team), but Montgomery’s almost-daily highlight moments in training camp practice could make a compelling argument.

So stay tuned for updates on Washington’s situation, as well as news about Saints owner Gayle Benson. Benson was diagnosed with COVID-19 and has been receiving medical attention while working from home. The coronavirus has hit the Saints close to home already, and everyone must remain vigilant as we continue to navigate this pandemic.

9/5 is approaching fast ...

Minus MT, Sanders and Tre, I wonder which other WR's make the cut? Do we keep 5 or 6?

I like seeing this. Get into a regular season routine. Consistency is important to an athlete.

Hope so. I heard the league is monitoring it universally. Would be funny if he did, though.

Tough to predict when only a handful of select press by the Saints are allowed to see what's happening...

Well, you got two things going on there with that idea...

First, there's a larger, protected practice squad roster teams will draw...

Second, there's an camp that is advocating for a bubble, however irrational that may be with a roster, coaches, and staff of over 100 people...
