The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Los Angeles Rams today, and Mike Washington Jr.'s status is still up in the air as he deals with foot and back issues. Here's everything we know about Washington Jr.'s injury and his playing status vs. the Rams.

Mike Washington Jr.’s injury status vs. Rams

Mike Washington Jr. is considered a “game-time decision” to play in Week 7 against the Rams, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. While there is optimism that he will play, the team will still need to see how the running back feels before making the final call.

Washington Jr., a fourth-round pick by the Raiders in this year's draft, has featured in the team's first six games thus far this season. He has rushed for 168 yards with one touchdown as the backup to Ashton Jeanty. He also has three catches for 11 yards.

Washington Jr. has been firmly behind Jeanty in the pecking order this season. However, he outproduced Jeanty in their previous game against the Buffalo Bills. While the carry count was similar (nine for Washington and 10 for Jeanty), Washington ran out with a 43-22 advantage in rushing yards.

Should Washington Jr. be ready to play against the Rams, who have their own injury concerns, he could potentially get more touches as the Raiders look to diversify their rushing attack.

So, to answer the question of if Mike Washington Jr., is playing tonight against the Rams, it's honestly anyone's guess. If Washington Jr. does miss out, fellow rookie Dylan Laube will get the call to back up Jeanty.
