Baltimore Ravens safety Ar’Darius Washington suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon while doing conditioning exercises, a source confirmed. This injury puts his participation in the 2025 season in jeopardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Washington, who had an outstanding season, including the playoffs, where he played in 12 games, the most in his career. He was expected to play a crucial role in the defense, even after Baltimore selected Malaki Starks in the first round of last month’s draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After not being selected in the 2021 draft, Washington overcame a career start marked by injuries and his height (5 feet 8 inches, 180 pounds) to become one of Baltimore’s biggest surprises last season. He stabilized a secondary that was struggling, replacing Marcus Williams in Week 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Washington as the starter in the last 10 games, the Ravens allowed 214 passing yards, which placed them eighth in the NFL during that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ar’Darius is a great example of a player who got an opportunity and took advantage of it,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in January.<\/p>Eric DeCosta, General Manager of the Ravens<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Last season, 25-year-old Washington recorded a career-high 64 tackles, in addition to two interceptions and eight passes defended. Known for making big plays, he forced a fumble by Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson inside the Ravens’ 5-yard line in Week 16 and stopped Texans running back Joe Mixon a yard short of the end zone on fourth-and-goal in Week 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a restricted free agent, Washington signed his offer on April 21, which guaranteed him a salary of $3.263 million this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the third significant injury in Washington’s five-year career. He missed the final seven games of the 2021 season with a foot injury and then was out 15 games in 2023 after suffering a chest injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
