http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3320 Recent articles about Chris Samuels en-us Three weeks ago Sherm Lewis, Washington offensive consultant, took over the playcalling duties from head coach Jim Zorn. The Redskins have had their second-, fourth-and fifth-best yardage totals of the season. They tied for their most first downs in a game (22) and had 21 in another. Last week against Denver they put up a season-high 27 points. "They're more fundamental," linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. "They're running the ball more." The 91 rushing attempts aga...

Samuels is out for the year with a neck injury, so maybe he and Ware can have a conversation this week. They share the same financial advisor and have become friendly over the years. "But we don't talk the week of the game," Ware said. "We'll talk after and say, 'I got you on this play,' or something like that." In eight ...

But later on he admits that it would take divine intervention to do so.

From people I know and people I don't. From family members. From waiters. This morning, from staff at my kid's daycare.But here's the thing: the Redskins kind of did manage to lose this weekend. On Saturday, the team made the expected move and put left tackle Chris Samuels on injured reserve. Because this was expected,...

Samuels has not played since suffering the injury Oct. 11 in the first quarter of a 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Several physicians have told Samuels he risks paralysis if he continues to play football, league sources said last week, and the 10-year veteran has told people in the organization he plan...

"He'll probably go on injured reserve so we can get that roster spot," Coach Jim Zorn said. "We need a spot, too, and yet nothing has been determined. We're still talking through things." After learning he could become paralyzed if he continues to play, Samuels has told people in the organization that he will sit out the remainder o...

"We wanted to make sure that the doctor who was reading the reports actually could visually see him," Zorn said. "We sent him out there just to do all the due diligence, so we could make, and he could make, an intelligent decision about how long, what if, all the what ifs and things like that."

League sources have said they expect Samuels to miss the remainder of the season and to contemplate retirement because of the injury he suffered in the Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers and stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal column that forces him to wear a protective brace when he plays). Officially, the Redskins have said only that...

Samuels confirmed Head Coach Jim Zorn's assessment Monday that he's out for this week's game, and said that he'd visit the doctor next wee...

Comcast SportsNet has the footage. "Very difficult moment and it was extremely scary," Samuels said to CSN. "Just kind of sat down out there and laid out and the trainers they came out there and kind of tended to me.
