Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the host Dallas Cowboys, the team announced Saturday.

Samuel is nursing a heel injury for the Commanders (3-3), who also are without fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin against the Cowboys (2-3-1). The latter will miss his fourth consecutive contest with a quadriceps injury that he sustained in Washington's 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 21.

Samuel, 29, was active Monday in a loss to the Chicago Bears but caught only four passes for 15 yards.

He has 34 catches for 315 yards and three touchdowns in six games in his first season with Washington.

Samuel played his first six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro first-team honors in 2021.
