Samuel isn't practicing Wednesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Samuel's absence to begin the week is somewhat concerning after he returned from a groin injury to make his Washington debut in Sunday's 34-30 win over Atlanta, catching each of his four targets for 19 yards while playing 37 percent of offensive snaps. With fellow wideouts Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) coming out of that game nursing injuries, Washington could really use a full-strength Samuel in the lineup for Week 5 against the Saints.
