The safety will return to the Lions next season."Detroit Lions safety Charles Washington will be returning to the team in 2019 as he has signed his Exclusive Rights Free Agent tender with them T.J. Hockenson Jersey Womens , the team announced via Twitter on Saturday afternoon.The team reportedly tendered Washington in early March.Washington is designated as an ERFA as he was an undrafted free agent coming out of Fresno State in 2017, and has not eclipsed two years of playing time. The deal he signed with the Detroit will be worth one, fully guaranteed, season on the league minimum salary. Washington could choose not to sign the tender, but only if he was willing to sit out of the entire 2019 season.The safety was used as a special teams specialist for Detroit. Washington played 228 special teams snaps last season, and earned 0 on the team’s defense. He played in 13 games in 2018, accruing six combined tackles. In his two seasons in the NFL, he has played in 29 games Kerryon Johnson Jersey , notching 13 tackles, including a singular tackle for loss.Detroit Lions waive RB Zach Zenner from reserve/injured The Detroit Lions parted ways with running back Zach Zenner on Wednesday, cutting him from the reserve/injured list. Zenner was a longshot to make the roster after the Lions added both rookie Kerryon Johnson and LeGarrette Blount this offseason, but his chances went to zero when he was injured early in the preseason finale, suffering an undisclosed back injury. By releasing Zenner from reserve/injured—with an injury settlement—the running back can actually return to action this year. Theoretically, the Lions could actually bring him back, too. According to league rules, the team that agrees to an injury settlement can re-sign a player an additional six weeks after the agreed length of the injury settlement. For example Frank Ragnow Jersey , if the player gets a four-week injury settlement (payment for four weeks, because, presumably, that would be the length it would take to recover from the injury), the Lions could sign him 10 weeks from today. There’s actually precedent for this, as well. In 2016, the Lions cut Josh Bynes from reserve/injured just before the season began. A couple months later, the Lions re-signed Bynes and he finished out the season starting eight games for the team.That sort of path isn’t as likely for Zenner. The Lions’ stable of backs is still crowded Marvin Jones Jersey , and it’s not clear what role Zenner could play if he stayed in Detroit. That being said, if the Lions are in an injury predicament in November, maybe Zenner gets a call. For now, he’s much more likely to find a spot on another team. Because he’s still not a veteran by NFL’s standards, he will go on waivers immediately.
