The Redskins officially ended tackle Chris Samuels’ season Saturday, placing him on injured reserve.
The move was expected, but Samuels’ future remains up in the air. Initially, there was a report that Samuels was set to retire. Samuels has since confirmed that the decision to play again has not been made.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted Saturday that Samuels has personally told Redskins owner Dan Snyder that he definitely wants to try to play football again.
It just won’t be for Jim Zorn.
UPDATE: “Several physicians” have told Samuels he risks paralysis if he continues to play, according to the Washington Post. Samuels will meet with a specialist in December or January before making a final decision.
