The Baltimore Ravens have announced defensive back Ar’Darius Washington has been designated to return to practice on Wednesday. Washington, 24, is returning from a chest injury that put him on injured reserve after Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Washington had been the starting nickel cornerback to begin the 2023 season, playing 73% of defensive snaps against the Houston Texans in Week 1 and 95% of snaps against the Bengals in Week 2. In those two games, Washington combined for 11 tackles, two passes defensed, two quarterback hits and a sack.
Washington being designated to return starts a 21-day window of him practicing, which by then they’ll need to either activate him to the 53-man roster or keep him on injured reserve for the rest of the 2023 season.
