Last month, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reported that it would "take an injury ahead of him at WR" and Washington would have to "be lights out when he gets healthy" to make the 53 man roster.
The Patriots signed Washington in March, after releasing Brandon LaFell. Washington suffered a left hip injury in week 17 last season against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
