Though on a conditional basis, the NFL has reinstated Arizona Cardinals inside linebacker Daryl Washington. The once-great linebacker plans to play in 2017, according to the usually-reliable Adam Schefter.
It is unclear whether or not Washington will return to the Cardinals this season, if at all. Cardinals general manager Steve Keim and coach Bruce Arians typically have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to of-field issues, as seen with Johnathan Dwyer a few years ago. Some may think he would get another chance with the team, after all, Matheiu did once have off-field troubles too.
