Washington Jr. absent from practice with foot and back injuries; potential setback.

The fourth-round rookie running back was limited Wednesday with foot and back injuries and absent from the media viewing portion of Thursday's practice, suggesting a potential setback. Washington has been the second back behind Ashton Jeanty through six games with 10 touches for 50 yards from scrimmage last week against Buffalo (nine rushes for 43 yards), and his role was expected to increase as the Raiders address rushing woes (ranked 30th in total rushing yards, 31st in yards per attempt), but health is required for that opportunity.
