Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. had a challenging performance during the team's Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. In a close game that ended 30-27, Washington rushed nine times for just 18 yards and lost a yard on his only reception. Despite the disappointing statistics in his season-high usage, he remains poised for a larger role on the team going forward, especially if starter Ashton Jeanty were to be sidelined due to injury. Washington's continued touches suggest he may become a valuable asset in upcoming games.
