Is Deebo Samuel playing today?

Yes, Samuel is expected to play Sunday for the Commanders against the Giants.

ESPN's Adam Schefter released the report indicating that was the case late Saturday night.

It's worth keeping an eye on the inactive report at 11:30 a.m. ET just to be sure, but Deebo appears good to go.

He'll be catching passes from Marcus Mariota, with the Commanders giving Jayden Daniels the day off after injury.

The Commanders also have Terry McLaurin back, so Deebo isn't the top option in the offense anymore.

But given the relative struggles of the Giants' defense, it's probably safe to fire up Deebo in your lineups for Sunday regardless.
