It appears as if the Detroit Lions have settled on their running backs for the season.

With a couple hours to go until the 4 p.m. roster deadline, the Lions have informed Dwayne Washington that he'll be waived later today and Zach Zenner that they intend to place him on injured reserve.

That leaves the Lions with four running backs on their roster: Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount, Theo Riddick and Ameer Abdullah, plus fullback Nick Bellore.
