Headed for IR Coach Ron Rivera relayed Friday that the team plans to place Samuel (groin) on injured reserve, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Jhabvala adds that Samuel's looming stint on IR is not expected to be lengthy, with the wideout potentially returning to the mix after missing just three games to start the coming season. In Samuel's absence, added snaps will be available for Adam Humphries, Dyami Brown and Cam Sims behind No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin.

Takes no reps Thursday Samuel (groin) went down as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact According to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Samuel was present for the practice session, but only took part in stretching with the team and had no involvement in individual drills or walk-throughs with the rest of the Washington wideouts. After he was seen limping off the field at Wednesday's practice, Samuel appears to have suffered another setback with his nagging groin injury, and his lack of activity Thursday suggests he's trending toward an inactive status for the Football Team's season opener Sunday versus the Chargers.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • Associated Press

Potential setback with groin injury Samuel (groin) acknowledged after Wednesday's practice that he still doesn't feel right, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Scott Abraham of 7News DC reports that Samuel limped off the field and visited with trainers after pulling up short on a route at Wednesday's practice. Regardless of whether the team views this as a setback or just more of the same, Samuel is now a long shot for Sunday's opener against the Chargers. He had just returned to practice at the beginning of the week, stepping in for team reps for the first time since early June. Samuel's likely absence Week 1 leaves extra snaps for Adam Humphries, Dyami Brown and Cam Sims behind No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin.

Samuel practices for Washington, status vs. Chargers unclear

Curtis Samuel took part in Washington's Labor Day practice and looks like a candidate to play in the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers after missing training camp

SEPTEMBER 6, 2021 • Associated Press

Practices Monday Coach Ron Rivera noted that Samuel (groin) "looked good" and "moved around well" during Monday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact That said, Rivera adds that the team "had a limited amount of plays" for Samuel lined up Monday in order not to overwork the wideout during the session. What Samuel does in Wednesday's practice, and how Washington subsequently lists his participation level, will provide added context with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Chargers. At this point, Rivera suggests that Samuel's path to the team's lineup hinges largely on his level of conditioning.

Scheduled for Monday return Samuel (groin) is scheduled for a return to full-team work at Monday's practice, Peter Hailey of NBC4 Washington reports.

Impact Samuel has been limited to individual drills since his removal from the PUP list Aug. 15, but coach Ron Rivera said Thursday that he's highly confident the wideout will play Week 1 against the Chargers. A return to practice Monday would be a big step forward, with Samuel's absence now stretching to three months. Rivera said Samuel will either be cleared for his full workload or held out entirely, rather than being eased into action the first few weeks. Granted, Rivera's statements aren't necessarily reliable, so practice reports next week will still be a handy tool.

Expected to play Week 1 Coach Ron Rivera said Thursday that he's "very confident" Samuel (groin) will play in Washington's Sept. 12 season opener against the Chargers, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post r...

Impact Samuel was removed from the PUP list Aug. 15 but still hasn't participated in team drills since his groin injury was first reported in early June. Rivera cautions not to mistake the length of Samuel's absence for the severity of the injury, suggesting that faster players take longer to recover from groin issues, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Rivera also mentioned that he's noticed Samuel's speed and quickness coming back the past few days, with the wideout apparently making good progress in his individual/side work. It's still best to consider him questionable for Week 1, as Samuel will be limited to individual work again Thursday just 10 days before the season opener Sept. 12 against the Chargers. Rivera says Samuel will either be cleared for his full role or not at all, rather than being eased in with a limited workload, per Fortier.

Limited to side work Samuel (groin) is working off to the side during Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Samuel still hasn't practiced with the team since his groin injury was first reported in early June. He's now been off the PUP list for two and a half weeks, but progress has been slow/intermittent, even after coach Ron Rivera said he was "pretty optimistic" about Samuel returning to practice this week. The wideout appears no better than 50/50 to suit up for Week 1 against the Chargers.

Rivera hopeful Washington's big-money additions return soon

Washington has been practicing without receiver Curtis Samuel for the balance of training camp and without cornerback William Jackson for the past week

AUGUST 25, 2021 • Associated Press

Could practice next week Head coach Ron Rivera noted Wednesday that he's "pretty optimistic" Samuel (groin) will practice "sometime next week," Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact That comment effectively rules Samuel out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens, but assuming the wideout in fact is able to practice next week and avoid any setbacks in the process, he'd be trending in the right direction in advance of Washington's Sept. 12 season opener against the Chargers.
