Washington (groin) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Washington missed the Week 5 win over Denver, in which fellow Steelers wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. With Smith-Schuster out of the picture, Washington should step in as the No. 3 wideout behind Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool (hamstring), though it'll likely be the latter two taking most of Smith-Schuster's slot work while Washington works on the perimeter. In any case, Washington will first need to prove he's healthy enough to play, with two more practices on tap before Sunday's game against Seattle.
