The Washington Commanders enter Week 4 in a precarious position. Jayden Daniels is banged up and out. Jacory Croskey-Merritt should feature, but is questionable. Despite being 2-1, the injury bug has become overwhelmingly apparent.
To make matters more complicated, wide receiver Terry McLaurin continues to battle a quad injury and won't feature, breaking his streak of 72 consecutive games. That means one player may hold the key to flipping the outcome entirely for the Commanders: Deebo Samuel Sr.
Samuel has built a career on being more than a traditional wideout. His hybrid ability to line up in multiple spots, handle carries like a running back, and even contribute on special teams makes him one of the NFL’s most unique offensive weapons.
