Football Team's Curtis Samuel: Gets groin exam, likely out Sunday

Samuel didn't participate in Thursday's practice and instead met with doctors to receive another evaluation of his injured groin, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

While it's unclear if Samuel's appointment was a pre-scheduled arrangement or the result of a setback following Washington's bye week, his continued absence from practice more than likely means he won't be available for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. The first season of the three-year, $34.5 million deal Samuel signed with the Football Team in March has been a disaster thus far, as he's suited up in just two of Washington's first eight games while logging 26 snaps in total.
