Samuel (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, with Washington head coach Ron Rivera noting that the wideout felt sore after Sunday's 27-20 loss to Dallas, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Though there were some murmurs of Samuel's role expanding prior to the Week 14 game, he ultimately saw just two targets (no catches) and played 14 snaps (21 percent), finishing with less than 20 yards for a fifth time in as many appearances this season. Even if he does keep fighting through the groin injury, Samuel clearly isn't the best version of himself this year and doesn't seem likely to move into a full-time role anytime soon.
