Per Redskins Insider and The Official Site:

Four weeks from today is August 23rd, which still gives him over two weeks before the start of the regular season. We'll miss him during the preseason but if you have to work without someone, better now than later. While Samuels is in absentia from practice, Jason Fabini (who has played tackle) will likely see some time. Other players on the team with legitimate tackle experience include Stephon Heyer, Taylor Whitley, Will Whitticker (I think), and of course Todd Wade. Then again, if Wade wins Derrick Dockery's departed guard spot, he's not a viable backup option.

The good news is that the Redskins have placed a premium on versatility on the offensive line, meaning there's a good bit of flexibility. That increases the competition for these spots and could help us adapt better should we suffer some injuries down the road.

Anyways, get well soon Chris. We need you back.
