"Samuel has been playing through the pain barrier in recent weeks. The offseason trade acquisition from the San Francisco 49ers is dealing with bruising in his heel, but it hasn't affected his ability to become an offensive focal point. He wants this momentum to continue, but the Commanders are rightfully proceeding with extreme caution. After the Commanders listed Samuel as questionable for the clash, Quinn was noncommittal. He revealed that they plan to take it through right up until the inactives are due, which will likely involve some pre-game workout before the former South Carolina prospect's status is finalized."
"However, a recent revelation from Adam Schefter and Lisa Salters of ESPN provided Commanders fans with a light at the end of their dark injury tunnel. They proclaimed that Samuel is expected to suit up against the Bears. This follows on from a report via Tom Pelissero from the NFL Network, which stated that the wideout should get the all-clear to participate. And if he's on the field, the Commanders will be expecting him to make a leading contribution with McLaurin and Brown sidelined."
Deebo Samuel Sr. has been playing through bruising in his heel while remaining a central offensive contributor. The Commanders listed Samuel as questionable and head coach Dan Quinn delayed a final decision until the inactives deadline, likely after a pregame workout. ESPN reporters Adam Schefter and Lisa Salters, and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, reported Samuel is expected to suit up against the Bears. With Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown unavailable, Washington plans to rely on Samuel for production, while offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury emphasizes the rushing attack and features Luke McCaffrey and Zach Ertz in the passing game.
