"Deebo Samuel Sr. has been on a tear this season. The Commanders believed he still had a lot of good football left. They sent a fifth-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers to secure his services, despite all signs pointing to his release. Adam Peters knew what he could bring to the squad with renewed focus, and he's been right on the money so far."
"Samuel has been a revelation, stepping into a pivotal role with the explosiveness, physicality, and versatility that saw him reach All-Pro levels once upon a time. This is despite dealing with heel bruising that has limited his practice involvement over the last fortnight. The Commanders have taken things extremely cautiously with Samuel, mainly due to Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown being sidelined. Washington officially listed the South Carolina product as questionable for the clash, with Quinn stating that it would be a genuine game-time decision."
Washington's wide receiver group is severely depleted entering Week 6 against the Chicago Bears, increasing reliance on Deebo Samuel. Samuel was acquired via a fifth-round trade from the 49ers and has delivered explosive, physical, and versatile play despite heel bruising that limited practice. The team has been cautious with his recovery because Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown remain sidelined. Samuel is listed as questionable and his participation is expected to be a game-time decision after a pre-game workout. The team will only play him if staff have full confidence that he can perform without risking long-term damage.
