Ar'Darius Washington Fantasy Stats

The Baltimore Ravens placed safety Ar'Darius Washington (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday after he tore his Achilles in May. Washington won't be practicing with the Ravens during training camp or playing in preseason games, but the 25-year-old defensive back is holding out hope that he can rejoin the defense late in the 2025 season. The former undrafted free agent out of TCU joined the Ravens in 2021 and has played four seasons with the team. Washington saw by far his most playing time in 2024 and finished with 64 tackles (45 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss, his first two career interceptions, eight pass breakups and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season games (10 starts). There's no guarantee that he will make it back later this season to play for the Ravens.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Baltimore Ravens safety Ar'Darius Washington (Achilles) will miss most of, if not all, the 2025 season after his MRI confirmed a torn Achilles tendon. Per Rapoport, the injury occurred during conditioning. It's devastating news for the 25-year-old and the Ravens' defense, as 2024 was his best season as a pro. After appearing in just eight games (one start) over his first three campaigns with the team, Washington played in all of them last season, starting ten games and boasting career-highs in tackles (62) and securing his first two interceptions. Despite being listed as a second-string defensive back, the TCU product logged nearly 65% of Baltimore's defensive snaps in 2024. Teammates Sanoussi Kane and Beau Brade currently project as the players who will benefit most regarding playing time, though the team could use a mix of assets to play in his stead.
