DEEBO SAMUEL NEWS

Uncertain to face Cowboys Samuel (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Impact Samuel returned to practice Friday, but he was a limited participant and suggested to reporters that he's not sure if he'll play Sunday. He did play through the same injury the past two weeks, including Week 5 when he had an 8-96-1 receiving line against the Chargers. Samuel slumped to 4-15-0 in Monday's loss to the Bears, but his playing time wasn't impacted, handling a 72 percent snap share and 90 percent route share. With Terry McLaurin (quad) out again and TE Zach Ertz (shoulder/calf) listed as questionable, Washington is running low on healthy pass catchers.

Unsure if he'll play Samuel (heel) said Friday that he isn't sure if he'll play Sunday at Dallas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Samuel was spotted at practice Friday morning after sitting out the previous two days. That's a good sign, but his comments suggest the heel injury is still bothering him to the point that he may not be able to play through it the way he did in Weeks 5-6.

Spotted at practice Friday Samuel (heel) was on the field for the initial portion of Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Samuel was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday and Thursday's sessions, so his presence at Friday's practice is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, though it remains to be seen how much work he'll get in. In any case, the Commanders' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's official participation level, as well as his Week 7 game status.

Sits out practice again Samuel (heel) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Samuel managed to play through his heel injury in Washington's last two games, but his status now looks legitimately up-in-the-air for Week 7 after back-to-back missed practices. It's possible the Commanders are simply taking a cautious approach to Samuel's activity level, but he may have to return as at least a limited participant Friday in order to have a realistic shot at suiting up for Sunday's road matchup against the Cowboys. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was limited in Wednesday's practice but downgraded to being a non-participant Thursday.

Listed as non-participant Samuel (heel) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report.

Impact He played through the same injury the past two games, putting up an 8-96-1 receiving line in Week 5 before slumping to 4-15-0 in Week 6. Samuel topped 70 percent snap share in both games, but the Commanders might ease up on his workload some if the heel continues to give him trouble and WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is available to pick up slack. McLaurin is returning to practice this week, but it isn't yet clear if he'll be ready for Sunday's game at Dallas. Samuel also needs to be monitored, with serious concern if he doesn't return to practice Friday.

Toughs out heel injury in loss Samuel (heel) secured four of five targets for 15 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Impact Samuel wasn't at 100 percent, and although Jayden Daniels kept him involved, the veteran receiver couldn't do much with his opportunities. Samuel posted his second-lowest receiving yardage total of the season, but his injury seemed to play a role. The seven-year pro will look to get healthier ahead of a key Week 7 road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Active in Week 6 Samuel (heel) is listed as active Monday against the Bears.

Impact Samuel has been dealing with a bruised heel for two weeks running, and the issue capped him to just one limited practice (Friday) during Week 6 prep. Coach Dan Quinn told Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post on Saturday that the Commanders were going to "take it into Monday" regarding Samuel, and his status now has been confirmed as the team posts its list of inactives. Despite playing through the pain in a Week 5 win at the Chargers, Samuel paced Washington wide receivers in offensive snap share (78 percent) on his way to an 8-96-1 line on 11 targets. With both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) out yet again, Samuel is positioned to serve as QB Jayden Daniels' top pass catcher for a second straight game.

Expected to play Monday Samuel (heel) is expected to be active for Monday night's game against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The Commanders haven't yet made an official decision about Samuel's status since listing him as questionable on Saturday's injury report, per Commanders writer Ben Standig, but he appears to be trending in the right direction for Monday Night Football. As such, the final word on his availability may not arrive until roughly 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With wide receivers Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) already ruled out for Monday, Samuel looks positioned for a significant workload as Washington's clear No. 1 WR if cleared to suit up versus Chicago.

Questionable for MNF Samuel (heel) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bears, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Samuel managed just one limited practice Friday during Week 6 prep as he tends to a bruised heel, but he has a chance to play Monday, unlike fellow WRs Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee), both of whom have been ruled out. Coach Dan Quinn told Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post on Saturday that the Commanders will "take it into Monday" regarding Samuel's availability, but ultimately his status may not be confirmed until about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Looking like game-time decision Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Saturday that the team will "take it into Monday" regarding the availability of Samuel (heel) versus the Bears, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Pos...

Impact Samuel played through his bruised heel last week and has been practicing in a limited capacity, and it appears as though he'll be officially listed as questionable with the release of Saturday's injury report, but that his status won't be made official until Monday. At the latest, fantasy managers will gain clarity at least 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff against Chicago. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) both already ruled out for Monday Night Football, the state of Washington's passing game will largely rest on Samuel's availability. Behind him on the depth chart are wideouts Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore, as well as practice-squad man Tay Martin.
