Washington (illness) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Washington was unavailable for both of New Orleans' previous two games due to an illness, but Saints coach Dennis Allen recently explained that the 28-year-old has been dealing with a cluster of migraine headaches, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. While it currently appears as if Washington is on his way to missing a third consecutive contest Sunday against the Eagles, along with Alvin Kamara's (quadriceps/personal) current questionable tag, David Johnson, Eno Benjamin and Taysom Hill could serve as the team's top ball carriers come New Year's Day.

Saints coach Dennis Allen said that Washington is dealing with a cluster of migraine headaches and will be ruled out for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
What it means:
Washington also sat out each practice of Week 15 prep while dealing with an illness before being ruled out for Sunday's win over the Falcons, though it's unclear if these migraines were the cause of his absence. Allen also said that the 28-year-old running back could be in line to miss multiple weeks while dealing with this issue, which would leave New Orleans without one of its core special-teamers moving forward. Washington has not recorded a rush or catch since Week 9, so his absence won't affect the team's game plan on offense.

Washington (illness) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
What it means:
Washington didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep due to an illness, so despite being listed as questionable, it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Eno Benjamin (coach's decision) is also inactive and Mark Ingram (knee) is out for the season, leaving David Johnson as the only active backup behind Alvin Kamara. However, Taysom Hill figures to get a few carries as well.

Washginton didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep due to an illness, but he still has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the reserve running back is sidelined, newcomers David Johnson and Eno Benjamin would be the top backups behind Alvin Kamara.
