Curtis Samuel:
"It doesn't change how we're going to approach this football game." Washington's practiced plenty of times without Samuel, so Ron has confidence that the offense will be ready https://t.co/2aGKDZx8Kl

Ron Rivera said that the idea behind this is to let him continue to rehab, take pressure off him and allow him to get completely healthy https://t.co/bR7cpdnArM

When Rivera says "short-term," he means Samuel has a chance to return after a missing three games, thanks to the NFL's modified IR rules. The team has 21 days after those three games to either activate him or leave him on IR.https://t.co/M5GgskGue0

Rivera said Samuel was pushing too hard to try and come back for the start of the season. IR allows him to take his time and heal up.

Surgery?:
"Don't even bring that up. I don't want to start any rumors or any crap" - that's Ron on the potential of Curtis getting surgery. This short-term IR stint has "nothing to do" with that. "It's not even on the table"
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) September 10, 2021
Ron Rivera very clear that surgery not an option for Curtis Samuel. The issue is rest, and Samuel's time on the Covid list set back his recovery. Rivera is confident that a few more weeks of rest should get Samuel back on his feet
