The Washington Commanders are extremely short at wide receiver going into the Week 7 game against the Dallas Cowboys, as Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel have both been ruled out.
McLaurin has now missed four straight games with a quad injury, while Samuel will miss his first game of the season with a bruised heel.
Both players practiced this week, but they only turned in one limited session each. McLaurin was limited on Wednesday before being downgraded for the last two practices of the week.
Here's what we know about their respective statuses for Week 8.
Will Deebo Samuel be back next week?
Samuel did close out the week with a limited practice, which is a good sign he's moving in the right direction to return next week.
However, there remains no definitive answer about his status for Week 8.
Will Terry McLaurin be back next week
Like Samuel, there is no definitive answer for McLaurin's status for Week 8.
But the fact that he saw a downgrade in participation on Thursday and Friday after logging a limited session on Wednesday isn't a great sign for him.
Head coach Dan Quinn said he's "hopeful it's sooner rather than later" in regard to McLaurin's return.
