Toohill was claimed off waivers by the Washington Football Team a day after.[5] In Week 6 of the 2021 season, Toohill recorded his first career sack on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.[6] He had his first career start in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers in place of Chase Young, who was placed on the team's injured reserve.

In Week 10 of the 2022 season, Toohill scored his first career touchdown in the victory over the then undefeated Philadelphia Eagles where he recovered the ball from a failed lateral pass from Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith and returned it to the endzone in the final play of the game.[8]
