The Redskins announced a few minutes ago that left tackle Chris Samuels has been placed on injured reserve, officially ending his season.
Samuels sustained a neck injury early in the Carolina game three weeks ago and said eight days ago that he would wait 3-4 months before deciding whether he would retire.
The Redskins now have an open roster spot and must decide early in the coming week whether to sign an offensive lineman or a tight end. Chris Cooley is expected to miss four weeks with a broken foot, leaving the team with only two healthy tight ends -- Fred Davis and Todd Yoder.
-- Ryan O'Halloran
