Cam Sims - Expected to miss multiple games Sims (hamstring) is expected to miss an additional 1-2 weeks after Week 5, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims was already ruled out for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Saints, but now he is looking at an extended absence. After a 2020 season where he caught 32 balls for 477 yards and a touchdown in 16 games, he's only reeled in two catches for 32 yards this year. DeAndre Carter is expected to see an increased role in Week 5 and potentially beyond.

DeAndre Carter - Could see bump in playing time Coach Ron Rivera said Carter will get more playing time on offense Sunday against the Saints, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The absences of Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring), coupled with uncertainty over the health of Curtis Samuel (groin), should open up more opportunities for Carter behind Terry McLaurin and Adam Humphries. Though Carter has previously struggled to make much of an impact in the NFL, he's off to a strong start this season in a special teams capacity, as he was named NFC special teams player of the week after scoring a 101-yard kickoff return touchdown against the Falcons. Now, the 28-year-old wide receiver could get more opportunities to utilize his shiftiness on offense while still maintaining a prominent special teams role.

Antonio Gibson - Playing through stress fracture Gibson, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, revealed Friday that he's been playing through a stress fracture in his shin, noting that it doesn't hu...

Impact Between his Friday comments, the fact he played last week and his limited practice participation Thursday and Friday, the young running back appears well on his way to suiting up this Sunday. However, the revelation about a stress fracture adds to concern about his chances of staying on the field throughout the season, not to mention the possibility of an in-game aggravation in the coming weeks. Gibson did get 16 touches and 55 percent snap share in a close win over the Falcons in Week 4, playing through his stress fracture without any obvious limitations after a mid-week addition to the injury report last Thursday.

Daron Payne - Toe injury flares up Payne (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Payne was a late addition to the injury report, as coach Ron Rivera said the defensive tackle "had an issue with his toe flare up." Rivera added that Payne will get treatment on the injury Friday afternoon, and the team should have a better idea of his availability by Saturday morning. Washington has the interior defensive line depth to overcome a possible Payne absence, with Tim Settle and Matthew Ioannidis available in reserve roles behind Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Curtis Samuel - Trending toward playing Week 5 Samuel (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, with head coach Ron Rivera saying Friday that the wideout is trending in the right direction, John K...

Impact Samuel made his Washington debut last week after struggling with the groin injury since the beginning of June. He was limited to four targets and a 35-percent snap share in the 34-30 win over Atlanta, but he could see more work this week even if he isn't 100 percent, as depth wideouts Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) both have been ruled out for Week 5. Rivera mentioned that DeAndre Carter will get some work, though the extent of his role likely depends in part on Samuel's health. To that end, Washington will release its inactive list 90 minutes ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Antonio Gibson - Listed as questionable Gibson (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Gibson played through the same calf issue last Sunday following a mid-week addition to the injury report, taking 14 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown while playing 55 percent of snaps in a 34-30 win over the Falcons. He'll likely play again this weekend, but fantasy managers should still check in Sunday morning to make sure Gibson isn't on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. He gets a tricky matchup against a Saints defense that's allowed just 3.1 YPC to date.

Benjamin St-Juste - Healthy heading into Week 5 St-Juste (concussion) is not listed on Washington's injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact St-Juste was inactive for Week 4 after being placed in concussion protocols following Washington's Week 3 loss to Buffalo. The rookie played a prominent role for Washington through the first three weeks of the season, but it's unclear if his snaps will be limited during his Week 5 return.
