Brown: Washington wasn’t on the injury report during the week leading up to the Green Bay game. If he’s dealing with something, I’m not aware of it.<\/p>\n
He has not played more than 29.7% of the defensive snaps in three games since his remarkable return from Achilles surgery. But as you noted, Washington had a reduced role in Green Bay. He saw a season-low 14.9% of the defensive snaps, and yes, the Ravens’ secondary struggled against the Packers.<\/p>\n
In Green Bay, much of Malik Willis’ passing success occurred when he targeted Baltimore’s outside corners, Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey. Washington plays primarily in nickel and dime packages as a safety or slot defender, and not where the Ravens were being attacked most often.<\/p>\n
However, the Ravens face another must-win situation against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Defensive Coordinator Zach Orr calls Washington “one of our best 11” defensive players. He’s a physical defensive back who’s an excellent run defender. If he’s healthy, I’m expecting Washington to play more than he did last week. A Ravens-Steelers game with a playoff spot on the line is Washington’s kind of party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brown: Washington wasn’t on the injury report during the week leading up to the Green Bay game.
