Fellow tight end Darnell Washington only logged two grabs but did manage to record a highlight-worthy stiff arm on one of them. It'll be interesting to see how the team involves Washington — who was recently signed to an extension — more in the offense in 2026.

Washington records two catches and highlight stiff arm; extension usage TBD.

Darnell Washington, recently signed to an extension, logged two grabs and recorded a highlight-worthy stiff arm against Atlanta. Jack Sawyer notes it will be interesting to see how the team involves Washington more in the offense in 2026, as his impact wasn't always felt in a run game that took until the end of the game to get going.
