Curtis Samuel - Injures groin Sunday Samuel left Sunday's game against the Saints due to a groin injury.
Impact Samuel has been dealing with a groin injury since the offseason program back in June, so he may have aggravated the issue. If he's unable to return, he'll emerge from Week 5 with one eight-yard carry and no catches on one target. In the event he doesn't get back into the game, Samuel will join inactive teammates Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) as wide receivers unavailable to Washington's offense.

Cole Holcomb - Will play against New Orleans Holcomb (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest against the Saints.
Impact Holcomb was listed as questionable leading up to Sunday, but he is expected to play against the Saints. The 25-year-old linebacker has been a tackling machine for Washington's defense, totaling 41 through the first four weeks of the season.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Daron Payne - Active for Week 5 Payne (toe) is active for Sunday's contest against the Saints.
Impact As expected, Payne will be active for Week 5 after being added to the injury report Friday. The 24-year-old has played the most snaps (219) of any Washington defensive lineman this season, so his availability will be key in slowing down Alvin Kamara and the Saints on Sunday.

Curtis Samuel - Cleared for Week 5 Samuel (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact After missing Washington's first three games due to the core-muscle injury, Samuel returned to action Week 4 against Atlanta and caught four passes for 19 yards while playing only 22 offensive snaps. The wideout doesn't appear to be 100 percent just yet, as he was withheld from two practices before logging a limited session Friday. Samuel will be good to go Sunday after checking out fine following a pregame workout, but it's possible he faces a lighter snap load for the second straight week.

Antonio Gibson - Cleared to suit up Sunday Gibson (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Gibson didn't practice fully at any point this week while tending to a stress fracture in his shin, but the injury ultimately won't keep him off the field Sunday. Considering Gibson has been able to play through the issue so far this season, Washington hasn't provided any indication that the running back's Week 5 workload will be affected as a result. Gibson has logged between 56 and 67 percent of offensive snaps in each of Washington's first four games, averaging 14.7 carries and 2.8 targets per contest.

Daron Payne - Expected to play Sunday Payne (toe) is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Payne was added to the injury report Friday, but he is on track to suit up in Week 5. The 24-year-old has played the most snaps (219) of any Washington defensive linemen this season, so his availability will be key in slowing down Alvin Kamara and New Orleans' run game.

Curtis Samuel - Availability hinges on pregame warmup Samuel (groin) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints and is set to go through a pregame warmup before Washington decides on his status, Ian Rapoport o...
Impact After Samuel turned in a limited practice Friday, head coach Ron Rivera expressed optimism the wideout would be ready to go for the Week 5 matchup. Assuming Samuel experiences no setbacks while working out early Sunday, he should avoid the inactive list, but how extensively he might be used is tough to predict. After missing Washington's first three games while recovering from the core-muscle injury that had bothered him since early June, Samuel played just 35 percent of the offensive snaps in the Football Team's Week 4 win over Atlanta.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Gibson - Expected to play in Week 5 Gibson (shin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Per Sam Fortier of The Washington Post, Gibson, who was limited at practice Thursday and Friday, is dealing with a stress fracture in his shin. The injury has been something the running back has been able to play through so far this season, so assuming he incurs no pregame setbacks, Gibson is on track to suit up Week 5. Official confirmation on his status arrive when Washington releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
