Is Curtis Samuel playing today? (Latest injury update for Eagles vs. Commanders in NFL Week 8)
By Peter Dewey
Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel is a true game-time decision for the team’s Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Washington wants to see Samuel work out before making a final determination on his status for this week.
#Commanders WR Curtis Samuel, who was limited this week with a foot injury and listed as questionable, is a game-time decision, source said. There is optimism about his status, but the team wants to see him work out.

Jahan Dotson anytime touchdown scorer
With Samuel banged up, it may be worth taking a shot on Jahan Dotson to find the end zone in this game at +350 odds.
Dotson – the team’s first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft – has just one score this season, but he’s seen a ton of usage in the red zone.
Dotson has the second most red zone targets on the team (six) behind only Samuel (eight) this season. While Dotson has just one score, he could be in line for a bigger role if Samuel sits – or is limited – in this game.
