News

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Samuel (shoulder) was placed on IR on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Samuel hurt his shoulder prior to the Chargers' season opener but was able to start each of the team's first four games. However, the Week 5 bye didn't help Samuel overcome the issue, and his placement on IR means he'll need to miss at least Los Angeles' next four contests. Cam Hart will likely take Samuel's spot in the starting lineup at cornerback.

  • Out versus Broncos

    Samuel (shoulder) is out for Sunday's outing against Denver.

    Analysis: Samuel has had a lingering shoulder injury since the beginning of September, but he'll now miss his first game of the season due to it. The 2021 second-round pick has 13 tackles (11 solo) so far this season, and his next chance to play will be Oct. 21 against Arizona.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Samuel (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Samuel tweaked his shoulder during Friday's practice, but it isn't serious enough to hold him out of the Chargers' regular-season opener. The 2021 second-round pick will start opposite Kristian Fulton at corner.

  • Injures shoulder Friday

    Samuel (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Samuel tweaked his shoulder during Friday's practice and is now in jeopardy of missing the Chargers' regular-season opener Sunday, per Rhim. If Samuel is unable to suit up in Week 1, expect Kristian Fulton, Deane Leonard and Cam Hart to see increased snaps at outside corner.

  • Disappoints in second season

    Samuel finished the 2022-23 season with 57 tackles (48 solo), one tackle for loss, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and 11 passes defended across 17 games.

    Analysis: Samuel served as the Chargers' No. 1 corner after J.C. Jackson suffered a season-ending knee injury in late October. The 23-year-old had a disappointing second season, recording the same amount of pass deflections and interceptions as he did during his rookie year despite playing in five more games, while also allowing a team-high six touchdowns. While the potential is there, Samuel has struggled with consistency but will look to try and put it all together going into his third season.

  • Two passes defended in loss

    Samuel recorded four assisted tackles and two passes defended during Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Samuel finished with a team high in passes defended as he made his seventh start of the season against Seattle. The second-year cornerback has played all but four defensive snaps for the Chargers this season, recording 26 tackles, seven passes defended and an interception. Samuel should continue to serve as the Bolts' top cornerback with J.C. Jackson (kneecap) now expected to miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign.

  • Not in line to start

    Samuel appears to be losing ground on the starting outside cornerback role opposite J.C. Jackson, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Michael Davis was expected to lose his starting role after the offseason signings of Jackson and slot corner Bryce Callahan, but instead it appears as if Samuel could be relegated to No. 4 corner. Samuel did play slot at times for the Chargers during his rookie campaign and showed flashes of being a turnover difference maker, but Callahan's excellence in that capacity might mean the second-year corner is simply the odd man out of the starting equation.

  • Set for return

    Samuel (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Samuel has been sidelined since Week 12 with a concussion, though he logged a trio of full practices this week. Now that he's cleared from concussion protocol, Samuel should return to a substantial role in the Chargers' secondary. The rookie has recorded 31 total tackles with seven passes defended and two interceptions across nine games.

  • Full participant in practice

    Samuel (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Samuel has missed the last four games due to a concussion, but his full participation in practice Wednesday is an encouraging sign. If he can remain a full participant Thursday and Friday, he should have a good chance to return for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

  • Inactive Thursday

    Samuel (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Kansas City.

    Analysis: Samuel was a limited participant in practice all week, but he'll be unable to return to game action Thursday. Chris Harris should continue to handle an increased role against the Chiefs.

  • Questionable Thursday

    Samuel (concussion) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Samuel was a limited participant at practice Monday and Tuesday, and he has a chance to return Thursday following a three-game absence due to a concussion. If he's unavailable once again, Chris Harris should continue to see additional playing time.

  • Will remain out

    Samuel (concussion) is out Sunday against the Giants.

    Analysis: Samuel hasn't cleared concussion protocols but will try to return for Week 15 against the Chiefs. In Samuel's absence, Tevaughn Campbell will be looking at a healthy workload.

  • Out for Week 13

    Samuel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Samuel was unable to clear concussion protocol for a second straight week, leading to him being ruled out for Week 13. Kiondre Thomas and Tevaughn Campbell will play increased snaps in the secondary again this weekend.

  • Absent from practice Wednesday

    Samuel (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Samuel continues to work through the concussion protocol and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Bengals. Kiondre Thomas and Tevaughn Campbell will remain candidates to see increased work as long as Samuel can't go.

  • Diagnosed with concussion

    Samuel won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers after he was diagnosed with a concussion.

    Analysis: Samuel totaled seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defense in Sunday's matchup prior to exiting the game. If he's forced to miss additional time, Kiondre Thomas and Tevaughn Campbell could see increased snaps.

  • Evaluated for head injury

    Samuel is being evaluated for a head injury after leaving Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Samuel sustained his injury in the second half of Sunday's matchup after he recorded seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defense to begin the game. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play in Week 12.

  • Logs full practice

    Samuel (concussion) was able to practice fully Wednesday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Samuel suffered a concussion in Week 8 and was unable to play for the Chargers in Week 9. While it's uncertain if the cornerback has cleared concussion protocols, there's optimism Samuel will be able to play in Week 10 after practicing fully Wednesday. Expect Ryan Smith and Tevaughn Campbell to see increased roles Sunday if Samuel can't suit up against the Vikings.

  • Will not play Sunday

    Samuel (concussion) will not play Sunday against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Samuel picked up the concussion in the Chargers' Week 8 game against the Patriots. He was unable to clear protocols in time to be available Sunday. With Michael Davis (hamstring) also ruled out, Tevaughn Campbell and Ryan Smith will need to step up into bigger roles in the Chargers secondary.

  • Won't return in Week 8

    Samuel has been ruled out with a concussion.

    Analysis: The loss is yet another blow to an already beleaguered Chargers secondary. Kemon Hall and Ryan Smith will likely see extra snaps as a result.

  • First career pick

    Samuel recorded four tackles (one solo) and an interception in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Samuel recorded his first career interception on a badly overthrown pass by Dak Prescott, returning it 26 yards to set up the Chargers in great scoring position. The rookie second-round pick has been a pivotal starter through two weeks while averaging close to 90 percent of the defensive snaps, more than exceeding expectations to date.
