"ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders will finally have both of their top two receivers available Monday as Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will play vs. Kansas City. Both players were full participants the past three days at practice and coach Dan Quinn said they will play. McLaurin has missed the past four games with a right quad injury while Samuel missed last week with a bruised heel that bothered him the previous game as well."
"It's a boost for a team that has dealt with numerous injuries this season, one reason why they're 3-4 heading into their game vs. the Chiefs (4-3). And their return helps backup quarterback Marcus Mariota making his third start this season in place of injured Jayden Daniels, out with a right hamstring injury. McLaurin said Friday that he was close in recent weeks but wanted to make sure he was 100 percent - something he didn't feel he was until Monday."
The Washington Commanders will have receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel available Monday against Kansas City after both were full participants at practice for three days. McLaurin missed four games with a right quad injury and did not feel fully healthy until Monday. Samuel missed last week with a bruised heel that had bothered him earlier. Their returns bolster a team coping with multiple injuries and should help backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, making his third start in place of Jayden Daniels (right hamstring). Noah Brown remains on injured reserve. The offense ranks 10th in scoring, 13th in yards, seventh in yards per play, 24th on third downs, and second in rushing yards per game.
