Antonio Gibson - Carries offense in loss Gibson rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints. He also caught both his targets for 12 yards.

Impact The running back dealt with a stress fracture in his shin throughout the week in practice, but Gibson still handled his usual workload and scored Washington's only two TDs of the day, punching the ball home from five yards out in the second quarter and from the one-yard line in the fourth. Assuming he's able to keep playing through his injury, Gibson could be poised for another big performance in Week 6 against a soft Kansas City run defense.

Taylor Heinicke - Struggles against Saints Heinicke completed 20 of 41 passes for 248 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints. He added 40 yards on five carries.

Impact For the first time this season, Heinicke failed to produce a touchdown, and his 6.0 yards per attempt was by far a season low. The 28-year-old has a shaky 7:5 TD:INT through four starts, but he'll face a more generous defense in Week 6 when Washington hosts Kansas City.

Darryl Roberts - Not returning Sunday Roberts (quadriceps) has been downgraded to out Sunday against the Saints.

Impact Roberts has seen a limited role this season and only appeared in one game before Sunday's tilt against New Orleans. Further tests will be needed to determine the severity of the injury sustained by the veteran cornerback.

Curtis Samuel - Ruled out of Sunday's game Samuel (groin) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Impact There's a good chance Samuel aggravated the hamstring injury that has plagued him since the offseason program back in June. If so, there's no telling when he may gain clearance to play again. Washington's wide receiver room is banged up at the moment, with Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) inactive Sunday. With that trio on the sideline, Terry McLaurin, Adam Humphries, DeAndre Carter, Dax Milne and Antonio Gandy-Golden are the team's healthy and available players at the position.
