Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin set to rejoin full practices this week
Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, wide receivers for the Washington Commanders, are set to rejoin full practices this week. Head coach Dan Quinn expressed optimism about their participation on SiriusXM’s “Movin the Chains,” as reported by Ben Standig. McLaurin has been sidelined due to a quadriceps injury, while Samuel has been dealing with a heel issue.
Player Injury Updates
The Commanders faced the Dallas Cowboys without McLaurin, Samuel, and fellow receiver Noah Brown, who is currently on injured reserve due to a groin injury. This marked the fourth game that McLaurin has missed this season, following an injury sustained in Week 3. Samuel, although he has struggled with injuries, missed his first game of the season on Sunday.
Impact on the Team
Samuel is the only wide receiver on the roster with over 10 receptions this season, contributing significantly to the team’s offensive efforts. He has also tied with tight end Zach Ertz for the most touchdowns on the team, boasting four scores this year. Meanwhile, quarterback Jayden Daniels recently avoided a severe hamstring injury but remains uncertain for Monday’s upcoming game against Kansas City.
Upcoming Practices
- Terry McLaurin: Expected to practice fully this week after missing multiple games.
- Deebo Samuel: Set to return to full participation, having faced minor setbacks.
- Noah Brown: Currently on injured reserve; status does not change for the upcoming game.
- Jayden Daniels: Injured hamstring, status uncertain for the next game.
Both McLaurin and Samuel’s return could provide a significant boost to the Commanders as they continue their season. Their participation in practices this week will be closely monitored ahead of the matchup against Kansas City.
