ALAMEDA – Raiders running back DeAndre Washington had 23 carries in Sunday’s victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. That was a career high by ton.
He had 14 carries two weeks ago against the Titans when he filled in for Josh Jacobs, who has a still-nagging shoulder injury. Washington had 12 carries twice in three previous seasons, reaching double digits four times in that span.
Washington made the most of a true featured back role Sunday, rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown. He also had two receptions for 21 yards, kicking his all-purpose total over triple digits.
