DECEMBER 28, 2020 • NFL.COM

Does it all in Week 16 Samuel recorded five receptions on five targets for 106 yards in Week 16 against Washington. He added seven rush attempts for 52 yards.

Impact Samuel led the Panthers in both rushing and receiving yards, torching the Washington defense for several big plays. Nearly all of his rushing production came on a run off the right side of the line as he dragged defenders for a 45-yard gain early in the second quarter. Samuel was also productive through the air, logging 44-, 22- and 16-yard receptions to reach 100 receiving yards for the second time this season. He'll look to close the season strong in a Week 17 matchup against the Saints.

Four receptions in loss Samuel secured four of nine targets for 42 yards and rushed twice for six yards in the Panthers' 24-16 loss to the Packers on Saturday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Impact The versatile wideout paced the team in targets while checking in second to DJ Moore in both receptions and receiving yards. Samuel's catch and receiving yardage totals were both his lowest figures of the last four games, however, so he'll look to bounce back with better production in a Week 16 matchup against Washington on Sunday, Dec. 27.

Suits up Saturday Samuel (hamstring) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Packers.

Impact As long as the versatile Samuel avoids any in-game setbacks, he should see his share of touches Saturday, even with DJ Moore back from the COVID-19 list. Through 12 games this season, Samuel has logged a 61/585/3 stat line as a receiver, while adding 29 carries for 139 yards and a pair of scores via the ground game.

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Status in question for Saturday Samuel (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Green Bay, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact After going through the practice week unscathed prior to Thursday, Samuel made a surprise appearance on the final Week 15 injury report as a limited participant, clouding his status for this weekend. He's so far putting together his best season as a pro, with 724 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns in 12 contests. The Panthers will make a decision on Samuel's status about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Posts 90 scrimmage yards in loss Samuel corralled seven of nine targets for 68 yards, adding two carries for 22 yards during Sunday's 32-27 loss to Denver.

Impact No matter that a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list held Samuel to just one practice session this week, he and Robby Anderson remained the clear-cut No. 1 and 2 options for signal-caller Teddy Bridgewater in Week 14. Samuel attracted three times as many targets as the Panthers' third-leading receiver, translating that volume into his third consecutive outing with 65-plus receiving yards. The Ohio State product also boasts five total touchdowns heading into a Week 15 matchup against Green Bay's 15th-ranked scoring defense.

Suits up Sunday Samuel is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, David Newton of ESPN.com reports,

Impact It's worth noting that the Panthers are listing Brandon Zylstra as a starter opposite Robby Anderson on Sunday, but that could simply be a nod to the fact that he practiced more this week than Samuel, who was limited to one day of practice after being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. With that in mind, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site doesn't believe that Samuel's level of playing time will be impacted much, despite the team's posted Week 14 starters.

Back at practice Friday Samuel (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and is practicing Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 24-year-old landed on the COVID list Monday, but he apparently tested negative for the virus all week and was able to make a quick return to the active roster. Fellow wideout DJ Moore (ankle) remains on the COVID list for now, and Samuel could have a larger role Sunday versus Denver should Moore be unavailable.

Could return this week Samuel (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday as a close contact, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Samuel will be required to isolate in quarantine as a result of his placement on the COVID list, but as long as he's able to continue returning negative test results, he could gain clearance in time for Sunday's game against the Broncos. It remains to be seen whether the same can be said for fellow starting wideout D.J. Moore (ankle).

DECEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on COVID list The Panthers placed Samuel (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact The Panthers placed both Samuel and fellow starting wideout D.J. Moore (ankle) on the COVID-19 list Monday, leaving Teddy Bridgewater (undisclosed) with a subpar receiving corps as Sunday's contest against the Broncos approaches. The Panthers aren't allowed to disclose whether players placed on the reserve list have tested positive or simply are quarantining after exposure, so it can't yet be determined when Samuel or Moore will be eligible to return.

DECEMBER 3, 2020 • Associated Press

Solid receiving effort in loss Samuel brought in all five targets for 72 yards and gained five yards on one rush in the Panthers' 28-27 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact The versatile wideout checked in second to Robby Anderson in receiving yardage for the Panthers while pacing the team in catches. Samuel saved his best for last as well, recording a tough 35-yard grab down the middle on Carolina's final drive to get the ball just short of midfield. Samuel has now had back-to-back busy weeks, posting a combined 13-142-1 line through the air over that span. He'll look to carry that momentum over into a Week 14 matchup against the Broncos following the Week 13 bye, with the ankle injury fellow wideout DJ Moore suffered late in Sunday's contest possibly opening up more opportunity for Samuel.
