Commanders' Curtis Samuel: Dealing with illness

Samuel isn't practicing Wednesday due to an illness, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.

Samuel has two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against Tennessee, so it's too early to have any serious concern about his Week 5 status. With Jahan Dotson (hamstring) looking likely to sit out Sunday, Washington can scarce afford to have a versatile wideout of Samuel's caliber sidelined this weekend.
