Washington (undisclosed) was activated off the NFI list Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Washington is expected to play a rotational role for the Lions this fall. The defensive end served in a similar capacity during his first year with the Lions last season and contributed 24 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Because of his experience in both 4-3 and 3-4 defenses, Washington could be a great fit in a Matt Patricia scheme that places a premium on versatility.
