With Ameer Abdullah being officially placed on I.R. today and hence out for at least 8 weeks  ( 7 games and the bye week ),  if Dwayne Washington is still available for anyone who needs another RB option,  at the very least he's well worth considering.   Washington's big play ability has been on display since the first pre-season game since he ran back a 96 yard kickoff for a TD.    In order to keep Theo Riddick fresh for 3rd Down type of receiving situations,   I think it's in the Lions best interest to use Dwayne Washington as the primary rushing option.   Whether that will eventually happen during Abdullah's absence,  time will tell.
