Deebo Samuel injury blow plunges crisis-hit Commanders to breaking point
"There is a lot at stake for the Washington Commanders during their bitter Week 7 rivalry clash with the Dallas Cowboys. Nothing but a win will do, so going into the game severely under-strength is not exactly ideal. That's precisely what Dan Quinn is facing. The head coach will once again be without some key personnel for the clash against his old employers."
"Samuel has been dealing with a heel injury that is causing him distress. The Commanders took his status for Week 6 against the Chicago Bears right up until the last minute before giving him the all-clear. While he suited up, it was clear something was amiss with the former South Carolina standout. After the Commanders took an extremely cautious approach with Samuel throughout practices this week, they officially listed him as questionable."
The Washington Commanders face a critical Week 7 rivalry game against the Dallas Cowboys while dealing with multiple receiver injuries. Noah Brown was placed on injured reserve after insufficient progress in rehabilitation. Second-team All-Pro Terry McLaurin barely practiced and was ruled out. Deebo Samuel has been hampered by a heel injury, downgraded to questionable before ultimately being listed out for the trip to Dallas. The team elevated Robbie Chosen from the practice squad to provide depth. Coaching staff must rely on existing coping mechanisms and depth pieces to navigate a stretched receiving group.
