Daryl Washington's suspension could have ended a week ago, and while a timely return to football might not have been greeted with a parade, it would have been an indication the Cardinals inside linebacker had made changes in his life.
Instead, Washington remained suspended, increasing doubts that he will play in 2015 and beyond.
"I don't lose one minute's sleep or even think about it," coach Bruce Arians told azcentral.com last week. "Until he becomes a Cardinal again, it's a waste of breath."
On May 30, 2014, the NFL informed Washington he was suspended for at least a year.
