Ron Rivera on Curtis Samuel: “We’re not going to rush him out there”

Washington head coach Ron Rivera said there is currently no timetable for a return for WR Curtis Samuel (groin).

Fantasy Impact: 

“There's no timetable for Curtis. He's been in the system, he knows it. Yeah, you'd love for him to catch a few reps maybe in the last preseason game, but we're not going to rush him out there,” Rivera said Sunday. It certainly sounds like there’s a pretty good chance we don’t see Samuel at all during the preseason, especially now that it’s only three games. The hope is he’ll be back for Week 1 against the Chargers. The time lost also means lost opportunities to build an early connection with new quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. This will certainly be worth monitoring over the next few weeks.
