Hail Mary Saints: Winston has 4 TDs, Saints beat Washington

OCTOBER 10, 2021 • Associated Press
Ruled out of Sunday's game Samuel (groin) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Saints.
Impact There's a good chance Samuel aggravated the hamstring injury that has plagued him since the offseason program back in June. If so, there's no telling when he may gain clearance to play again. Washington's wide receiver room is banged up at the moment, with Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) inactive Sunday. With that trio on the sideline, Terry McLaurin, Adam Humphries, DeAndre Carter, Dax Milne and Antonio Gandy-Golden are the team's healthy and available players at the position.

Injures groin Sunday Samuel left Sunday's game against the Saints due to a groin injury.
Impact Samuel has been dealing with a groin injury since the offseason program back in June, so he may have aggravated the issue. If he's unable to return, he'll emerge from Week 5 with one eight-yard carry and no catches on one target. In the event he doesn't get back into the game, Samuel will join inactive teammates Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) as wide receivers unavailable to Washington's offense.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared for Week 5 Samuel (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact After missing Washington's first three games due to the core-muscle injury, Samuel returned to action Week 4 against Atlanta and caught four passes for 19 yards while playing only 22 offensive snaps. The wideout doesn't appear to be 100 percent just yet, as he was withheld from two practices before logging a limited session Friday. Samuel will be good to go Sunday after checking out fine following a pregame workout, but it's possible he faces a lighter snap load for the second straight week.

Availability hinges on pregame warmup Samuel (groin) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints and is set to go through a pregame warmup before Washington decides on his status, Ian Rapoport o...
Impact After Samuel turned in a limited practice Friday, head coach Ron Rivera expressed optimism the wideout would be ready to go for the Week 5 matchup. Assuming Samuel experiences no setbacks while working out early Sunday, he should avoid the inactive list, but how extensively he might be used is tough to predict. After missing Washington's first three games while recovering from the core-muscle injury that had bothered him since early June, Samuel played just 35 percent of the offensive snaps in the Football Team's Week 4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Samuel made his Washington debut last week after struggling with the groin injury since the beginning of June. He was limited to four targets and a 35-percent snap share in the 34-30 win over Atlanta, but he could see more work this week even if he isn't 100 percent, as depth wideouts Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) both have been ruled out for Week 5. Rivera mentioned that DeAndre Carter will get some work, though the extent of his role likely depends in part on Samuel's health. To that end, Washington will release its inactive list 90 minutes ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Back at practice Friday Samuel (groin) is taking part in position drills at Friday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Impact Samuel sat out practice the past two days with the same groin injury that had kept him on injured reserve for the first three games of the season, so it's good to see him back on the field Friday, even if he's only a limited participant. The 25-year-old played just 35 percent of the team's offensive snaps during his season debut last weekend against the Falcons, as his groin issue obviously remains a factor.

Doesn't practice Thursday Samuel (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Samuel was spotted stretching prior to the session, but once individual drills kicked off he moved to a side field to get in some work, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic. With back-to-back absences following his only appearance of the season to date, Samuel appears to have aggravated the groin injury that has plagued him since the offseason program back in June. It's unclear if a DNP is on his docket this Sunday versus the Saints, but his position group also is banged up, with Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) also joining Samuel as non-participants Thursday.

FANTASY PLAYS: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 5

OCTOBER 7, 2021 • Associated Press
Absent with same groin injury Samuel was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice with a groin injury, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Impact It isn't yet clear if Samuel is dealing with a setback in his recovery from the groin injury that sidelined him for the first three games of the season, as the team could just be resting Samuel after his Washington debut in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons. Still, fantasy managers can't be thrilled to see Samuel listed as a non-participant with an injury that had been nagging him since the first week of June. Coach Ron Rivera didn't provide answers about Samuel's outlook for the Week 5 game versus the Saints, merely saying that the team is "obviously going to be cautious with" the wideout, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. The team could certainly use Samuel's help, especially after tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring) and reserve wideouts Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) all suffered injuries during the Week 4 win.

Absent from practice Samuel isn't practicing Wednesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Samuel's absence to begin the week is somewhat concerning after he returned from a groin injury to make his Washington debut in Sunday's 34-30 win over Atlanta, catching each of his four targets for 19 yards while playing 37 percent of offensive snaps. With fellow wideouts Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) coming out of that game nursing injuries, Washington could really use a full-strength Samuel in the lineup for Week 5 against the Saints.

Four catches in Washington debut Samuel (groin) caught all four of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over Atlanta.
Impact Samuel didn't play a significant role in his first game for Washington after being activated off injured reserve. His four targets tied with Ricky Seals-Jones for third on the team behind Terry McLaurin (13) and J.D. McKissic (five). Samuel's versatility should earn him some touches on short passes, gadget plays and runs moving forward, but he's more of a supporting player rather than a go-to wideout of McLaurin's ilk.
