Samuel (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

John Keim of ESPN.com reports that Samuel did some work on a side field, along with fellow injured wideouts Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Dyami Brown (knee). Head coach Ron Rivera has been optimistic about Samuel avoiding a second stint on injured reserve, but that could be in the cards if the receiver doesn't return to practice within the next few days.
