Deebo Samuel (heel) returned to practice on Thursday.

02 October 2025

Samuel got banged up in week 4 and missed Wednesday’s practice, causing some concern for his availability ahead of Week 5. Even a limited session today puts him on track to suit up this week. Terry McLaurin is still highly questionable with a quad issue, meaning Samuel could operate as the Commanders’ top wideout once again. Samuel caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a score in Week 4. He will slot in as a fantasy WR2 if McLaurin remains sidelined on Sunday.
