Rivera also told reporters that receiver Terry McLaurin is in the concussion protocol.

McLaurin didn't record a catch in Week 14 and neither did Samuel who was supposed to ramp up his workload after missing most of the season with a hamstring issue. Sims and Humphries led the way for Washington at WR and may have to again in Week 15 if McLaurin isn't cleared to return.

WFT RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) will not play Week 13 in Las Vegas, while WR Curtis Samuel (groin) and TE Ricky Seal-Jones (hip) are questionable.

Considering the injury, it is good to see McKissic only has a concussion. Samuel will be needed in a game that could require a lot of points to win. RSJ is just a back-up Week 13 with Logan Thomas healthy.

The Washington Football Team will officially add TE Logan Thomas back to the active roster in the next hour. He and WR Curtis Samuel are on track to play tonight, as expected.

Good news for those counting on Thomas in Week 12. The tweet added that both will also be on a pitch counts, so that could hurt Thomas' value a bit. Samuel has played in just two games this year, seeing five targets with four catches for 19 yards.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (groin) is questionable for Week 11's game against the Carolina Panthers. TE Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) will miss Week 11.

Related Players: John Bates, Sammis Reyes

WFT is extremely thin at tight end, but John Bates looked good in his first extended look. Samuel's positive week of practice could be parlayed into his first start in a month. It is also a revenge game scenario for Samuel, a narrative that could make him a flex option Week 11.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (groin) will not play week 10, while WR Dyami Brown (knee) is questionable.

Samuel's season feels like a total 'L,' while Brown's anticipated return is good for him rest of season and as a dynasty target in 2022.

WFT RB Antonio Gibson (shin) was listed as limited on the team's first Week 10 injury report. WR Curtis Samuel (groin) did not practice.

Gibson's limited tag is continued reservation for the second-year back. Expect him to play Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Rivera is hopeful that after the bye, Washington may be able to activate tight end Logan Thomas off injured reserve (hamstring) and return a number of starters, including right guard Brandon Scherff (knee), wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee), right tackle Sam Cosmi (ankle), cornerback William Jackson III (knee) and receiver Curtis Samuel.

Related players: Ricky Seals-Jones

Seals-Jones had just a 2-12-0 line last week after three solid games in a row with Thomas on IR. Now could be the time to take a shot on Thomas if he's on your wire and you're in need of TE help. Samuel has been dealing with a groin injury since spring, the story pointed out and could also be a stash option with Washington on a bye this week.

WFT WRs Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) will miss Week 8's game against the Denver Broncos. WR Cam Sims (hamstring) is questionable.

Related Players: Dax Milne, Adam Humphries

Look for Terry McLaurin and Ricky Seals-Jones to lead the team in targets with Milne and Humphries contributing.

WFT WRs Terry McLaurin (ankle), Curtis Samuel (groin), and Dyami Brown (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

McLaurin will have limited practice reps each week as long as he is injured, but is expected to play. Samuel and Brown are less likely to play.
