Washington suffered a compound fracture while playing for the New York Jets last season. Washington, 28, will be entering his fifth year in the NFL. Primarily used as a change of pace or third down back by the Jets, the Florida State grad has a career 4.8 rushing yards per attempt. Washington is a great receiver out of the backfield and should give Seattle a viable weapon when he’s on the field if he can return to pre-injury form.
“I had no doubt, no doubt at all, that I could come back. Once I got into that locker room and had a chance to talk with the doctors, I knew I’d have a chance to come back,” said Washington speaking to the media this week.

The other running back Seattle acquired was former Tennessee Titan LenDale White. White, who has dealt with weight issues during his career at times played weighing as much as 265 pounds but showed up at Seattle OTA’s as a slimmed down 219 pound player. White was relinquished to the bench most of last season, rushing for a career low 222 yards as Chris Johnson rolled up the yardage. Speaking of Johnson, White believes the Titans should break open the checkbook for Johnson. “He’s a 2,000 yard rusher so whatever he asks for, he should be able to get.” The chance to play with Seattle this season, reunites White with his college coach Pete Carroll from his USC days.
