  • Ranks fifth in receiver snaps

    Sims played nine snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: For the first time since Week 4, Sims failed to draw a look in the passing game. With all of Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel and Dyami Brown available to the Commanders, Sims' opportunities to contribute at receiver will likely be few and far between over the final six weeks of the season.

  • Fails to corral lone target

    Sims finished Monday's 32-21 win over the Eagles with no receptions on one target across 27 snaps on offense.

    Analysis: Sims' 33 percent offensive snap share was his lowest mark since Week 4, when he was on the field for just six percent of the Commanders' plays. Unsurprisingly, Sims' drop in playing time coincided with the return of Jahan Dotson (34 snaps, 41 percent share), who stepped in as the No. 3 receiver after missing the last five games with a hamstring injury. Dotson's role is only expected to grow bigger in the weeks to come, so Sims could see his snap shares dip back into the single digits in future…read more

  • Held to one catch

    Sims caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Sims played 44 percent of snaps on offense, after four straight games at 59 percent or higher. It didn't make much difference in the final stat line, with this being his fifth week in a row with exactly one reception, though he did it on two targets rather than one the previous four times. Dyami Brown and Dax Milne also have gotten some playing time while Jahan Dotson (hamstring) has been on the shelf, and whatever slight opportunity Sims currently has will evaporate if Dotson, Terry McLaurin…read more

  • Targeted twice on 49 snaps

    Sims played 80 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's 17-16 win over Indianapolis, catching one of two targets for 21 yards.

    Analysis: With Jahan Dotson (hamstring) out for a fourth straight game and Dyami Brown (groin) inactive as well, Sims made his second start of the season and topped a 50 percent snap share for a fourth straight game. It's the third year in a row injuries higher up on the depth chart have allowed Sims to make multiple starts, and per usual he's near the bottom of the league in targets per route/snap, having yet to see more than two passes in a game even with all the playing time. Expectations should…read more

  • Playing limited snaps

    Sims didn't draw a target while playing four snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-10 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Sims has drawn single-digit snaps in each of Washington's first four games and has thus far been held without a catch on three targets. His playing-time outlook could improve Week 5 against the Titans, as rookie wideout Jahan Dotson (hamstring) is unlikely to be available.

  • Targeted twice

    Sims finished without any catches on two targets in a 36-27 loss to Detroit on Sunday.

    Analysis: The 6-5 wideout has played 16 offensive snaps through two games, barely seeing the field behind Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel. Sims has never seen many targets even when he plays a lot, and that's unlikely to change on a Washington team that suddenly has no shortage of weapons. Sims figures to again see most of his work on special teams Week 3 against Philadelphia.

  • Not listed on injury report

    Sims (concussion) isn't listed on Friday's injury report, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Sims entered concussion protocols Aug. 24 and was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday but has since been cleared for full participation. The fifth-year wideout has caught 47 of 72 targets for 688 yards and three scores over the last two seasons and is projected to be Washington's fourth wideout behind Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel.

  • Limited during practice

    Sims (concussion) was limited at practice again Thursday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Sims entered concussion protocols Aug. 24 and still has not gained clearance to participate in full. Currently listed No. 4 on the Commanders' wide receiver depth chart, his potential absence could create extra opportunity for Dyami Brown. Sims remains questionable for Week 1 game against the Jaguars.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Sims (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Initial reports said that Sims didn't practice Wednesday, but he actually did get some work in. However, the extent of his participation and his status for Sunday's season opener are both unknown. The fifth-year wideout was placed in concussion protocols at the end of August and has slowly worked his way back. If he's unable to suit up Week 1, expect Dyami Brown and Dax Milne to share the No. 4 wideout role behind Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel.

  • No practice yet

    Sims (concussion) is not practicing Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Sims has been in the concussion protocol since late August. He won't be eligible to suit up for regular-season action until fully cleared, so his status for Week 1 is in legitimate danger. Dyami Brown and Dax Milne likely will handle the No. 4 wideout role versus Jacksonville on Sunday if Sims is unavailable.

  • Lands in concussion protocol

    The Commanders placed Sims in concussion protocol Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Sims suffered the injury, but he's had a strong camp and was expected to be Washington's top wideout behind Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and rookie Jahan Dotson. It's unlikely Sims suits up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens, but he'll have more than two weeks to be cleared for Week 1 of the regular season.

  • Locks up No. 4 spot

    Sims looks to have won Washington's No. 4 receiver spot, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic

    Analysis: It's a familiar role for Sims, who made 10 starts in 2020 and three in 2021. He owns career marks of 14.6 yards per catch and 9.7 yards per target, but with consistently low rates of targets per route. Like many oversized receivers, the 6-foot-5 Sims struggles to get open but can make contested catches and has value on special teams. In terms of fantasy potential, 2021 third-round pick Dyami Brown might be slightly more interesting as a fill-in starter, though it isn't a good sign that he's…read more

  • Re-signs with Washington

    Sims re-signed Wednesday with the Commanders on a two-year, $3 million contract, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Sims sticks with the only team he's ever known, having mostly served as a backup since first catching on with Washington in 2018. He made 10 starts in 2020 and finished the season with 477 yards, but then dropped to a 15-211-2 receiving line in 14 games last season (three starts). He'll likely be fourth or fifth on the wideout depth chart entering training camp this summer.

  • Finishes year with 15 catches

    Sims finished the 2021 season with 15 catches for 211 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets, making three starts in 14 games.

    Analysis: Sims finished out the season as Washington's No. 2 receiver -- at least in terms of snaps -- for the second straight year, though this time he made only three starts instead of 10. In addition to starting seven fewer contests than in 2020, he finished with about half the receiving production in each category, apart from TDs (32-477-1 on 48 targets in 2020). The 26-year-old Sims is now scheduled for free agency this spring, and he should catch on somewhere as a depth receiver and special teams…read more

  • Racks up four catches

    Sims recorded four catches on five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Sims continued to see a significant role in Washington's offense, and he managed a season-high in targets and receptions. He also finished second on the team in yards behind only Terry McLaurin on the strength of catches that went for 18, 16 and 12 yards. Sims should maintain a similar role for a Week 18 matchup against the Giants, though Washington's offensive inconsistency make it difficult to expect strong production.

  • Starts, but no catches

    Sims got the start and played 62 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas, but he was unable to catch a pass on three targets.

    Analysis: Sims caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a TD two weeks earlier in the first game against Dallas. He's since seen considerable playing time in back-to-back games, but with just one catch (for 13 yards) to show for it, he may slide back to a timeshare with the likes of Dyami Brown, DeAndre Carter and Dax Milne. There's still minimal fantasy potential for Washington pass catchers behind Terry McLaurin.

  • Back from COVID-19 list

    Washington reinstated Sims (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

    Analysis: The NFL's decision to push back Washington's Week 15 game against the Eagles from Sunday to Tuesday provided enough time for Sims -- and likely more players to follow -- to clear all COVID-19-related protocols and help alleviate some depth concerns for the Football Team, which still has 13 members of the roster on the list and several more on injured reserve. The receiver room is one of the few position groups on the roster that hasn't been hit hard by COVID-19-related absences or injury, so…read more

  • Tests positive for virus

    Sims' placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday was the result of a positive test of the virus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Washington didn't officially provide an explanation beyond Sims' placement on the list, but Yates notes that 30 of the 31 of NFL players that landed on the list Wednesday tested positive for the virus, with Jordan Ranaan of ESPN.com relaying that Giants safety Xavier McKinney was placed on the list as an unvaccinated high-risk close contact. Because Sims is vaccinated, he'll be eligible to report back to the Football Team facility so long as he's asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and tests…read more

  • Lands on COVID list

    Washington placed Sims on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Sims helped fill in for an injured Terry McLaurin (concussion) and finished with 3-69-1 receiving line on four targets in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys. With both wideouts now in danger of missing this weekend's game in Philadelphia, there may be an opportunity for Curtis Samuel, DeAndre Carter or Dyami Brown to take on more snaps.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Sims caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Terry McLaurin (concussion) only played 33 offensive snaps, which opened the door for Sims to notch season-highs in both receptions and yards. The majority of the 6-foot-5 wideout's production came on a spectacular, 43-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. Despite Sims' big play, Adam Humphries appeared to be the more consistent go-to guy with McLaurin out, as he led the team in both targets (seven) and receptions (four). If McLaurin is sidelined in Week 15, Sims, Humphries and DeAndre…read more

  • Hits pay dirt in win

    Sims caught both of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Sims' touchdown came on a six-yard grab from Taylor Heinicke in the second quarter to tie the game. The score marks the wideout's first trip to the end zone of the season. The 25-year-old played just 11 of Washington's 67 offensive snaps in the victory, as he continues to be far down the team's pecking order of pass catchers.

  • Limited to 10 yards

    Sims caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Sims had a big game against Tampa in the playoffs last year but placed just fifth in playing time among Washington's wide receivers in this one. He got 18 percent of the offensive snaps, following 21 percent share in the final game before Washington's Week 9 bye. Sims likely will stay in a reserve role for Week 11 at Carolina, though he does have starting experience and could be promoted back to the lineup eventually if DeAndre Carter struggles or gets hurt. But even then, Dax Milne took more…read more

  • Cleared to face Tampa

    Sims (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Sims is cleared to play while Curtis Samuel (groin) is ruled out and Dyami Brown (knee) listed as questionable, but even if the depth chart is thinned out, Sims may not be ahead of DeAndre Carter at this point. Carter had his best game of the season right before the Week 9 bye, catching three of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the 17-10 loss to Denver. Sims saw two targets and only 15 snaps in the same game, though it was his first week back in the lineup after missing three in a…read more

    Analysis: Sims has had his practice reps capped for two consecutive days to begin the week. However, if the 25-year-old is able to remain on the practice field in some capacity Friday, he should have a good chance to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Sims missed Weeks 5 through 7 with the hamstring injury, returning Week 8 to catch one of two targets for 20 yards while playing 15 snaps on offense (21 percent). He's apparently still bothered by his hamstring after a Week 9 bye, but he'll likely be able to play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: On the heels of three consecutive games missed, Sims got back on the practice field in a limited capacity during Week 8 prep. It was enough activity for Washington to clear him to play for the first time since Week 4, and he could have more opportunity than he previously had with both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) sidelined. Still, Sims likely will be behind all of Terry McLaurin, Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic, Ricky Seals-Jones and Adam Humphries in the pecking order for targets…read more

  • Questionable for Week 8 return

    Sims (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Denver, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Sims returned to practice Wednesday after missing the past three games. He saw just three targets on 35 offensive snaps over the first four weeks of the season, but there's a chance Sims joins the starting lineup if he's able to play Sunday, as both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) are ruled out. Sims previously was a starter for Washington's final 10 regular-season games last year, averaging 2.9 catches for 43.8 yards on 4.5 targets in that stretch.

    Sims (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Sims hasn't practiced since leaving Washington's Week 4 win over the Falcons early with a hamstring injury. Terry McLaurin, Adam Humphries and Dyami Brown will garner the majority of the wideout snaps, but Dax Milne and DeAndre Carter have developed small roles with Sims and Curtis Samuel (groin) sidelined.

    Analysis: Sims injured his hamstring in Washington's Week 4 win over the Falcons and has yet to play since then.

Expect DeAndre Carter and possibly Dax Milne to see snaps Sunday if Sims can't suit up.

    Sims (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Sims will be held out for a second straight week and may be sidelined even longer. Curtis Samuel (groin) has been ruled out as well, and Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Dyami Brown (knee) are both listed as questionable, so DeAndre Carter and Dax Milne may be in line for increased snaps against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Sims was already ruled out for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Saints, but now he is looking at an extended absence. After a 2020 season where he caught 32 balls for 477 yards and a touchdown in 16 games, he's only reeled in two catches for 32 yards this year. DeAndre Carter is expected to see an increased role in Week 5 and potentially beyond.

    Analysis: Sims, Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) all didn't practice Wednesday, so it'll be important for fantasy managers to monitor their practice status throughout the week. Terry McLaurin and Adam Humphries are currently Washington's top two wideouts, but they will need all hands on deck when they face the Saints on Sunday.

    Sims played two snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Chargers, catching his lone target for a 17-yard gain.

    Analysis: There was some thought Sims and Dyami Brown would share the No. 2 receiver role with Curtis Samuel (groin) on injured reserve for at least the first three weeks of the season. Brown finished with just one catch for a loss of two yards on four targets, but he dominated playing time with a 93 percent snap share, while Sims got most of his work on special teams.

  • Could start Week 1?

    Sims and Dyami Brown should get more playing time after Curtis Samuel (groin) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Brown, a rookie third-round pick, is more interesting from a fantasy standpoint, as Sims failed to attract targets last year -- averaging 4.5 in 10 starts -- while playing in an offense that allowed RB J.D. McKissic and TE Logan Thomas to hit triple digits. That said, Sims finished the year with 9.9 yards per target, and at 6-5, 215, he's probably a better blocker than the rookie. Washington could use one or both to replace Samuel in the No. 2 receiver role, while Adam Humphries and J.D.…read more

  • Loses fumbles

    Sims caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Friday's preseason win over Cincinnati, but he lost a fumble on one of the receptions.

    Analysis: If you're looking for a silver lining, the fumble did come while QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and the first-team offense were still on the field. Then again, Sims might not've been on the field with them if Curtis Samuel (groin) had been ready to play. In any case, the 6-5 wideout finds himself competing for a roster spot after starting for much of last season, as Washington added Samuel, Dyami Brown and Adam Humphries this offseason. Sims looks like the fourth or fifth option at wide receiver, if he…read more

  • Signs RFA tender

    Sims signed his restricted free agent tender Wednesday.

    Analysis: Sims waited a week before signing, ultimately unable to find a contract offer any better than the one-year, $2.13 million tender. The 2018 UDFA played only 56 offensive snaps in eight games through his first two seasons, before starting in 10 of his 16 appearances in 2020. Sims averaged 14.9 yards per catch and 9.9 per target last year, but he was targeted on only 12.2 percent of his routes, essentially making him an afterthought behind Terry McLaurin, Logan Thomas and J.D. McKissic. With…read more

  • Gets low-round tender

    Washington extended a low-round tender to restricted free agent Sims on Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Sims went undrafted out of Alabama in 2018, so if he receives an offer sheet on the open market, Washington only has the right of first refusal and won't receive draft compensation if it opts not to match the deal. After putting up a 32-477-1 line on 49 targets in 16 games last season, Sims may draw some interest from other organizations, especially considering nine of his receptions went for 20-plus yards.

  • Eclipses century mark in loss

    Sims brought in seven of 13 targets for 104 yards in Washington's 31-23 wild-card loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Sims recorded a team-high 36-yard reception on his way to leading Washington in catches, receiving yards and targets. The third-year wideout eclipsed the century mark only once during the regular season, a 110-yard effort against the Giants in Week 9. After recording just two receptions for 27 yards in his first two seasons, Sims had a breakout of sorts in 2020 with a 32-477-1 line across 16 games. He'll now head into the offseason with some momentum following Saturday night's stellar showing…read more

  • Catches five passes in win

    Sims caught each of his five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Sims played every single snap on offense for a second straight week, making his 10th consecutive start to close out the season. He averaged 62.3 snaps but only 4.5 targets in those 10 starts, catching 29 of 45 targets for 438 yards. While he should keep his starting job for the playoffs, Sims will likely face more competition in the offseason.

  • Gets nine targets

    Sims caught three of nine targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: With Terry McLaurin (ankle) inactive, Sims led Washington wideouts in targets, though TE Logan Thomas (12) and RB J.D. McKissic (10) both saw more. Apart from his 50-yard gain on a Dwayne Haskins scramble drill in the third quarter, Sims mostly had a tough go of it, producing just 19 yards on his other eight targets. He nearly made a diving catch for a 43-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but the ball bounced out of his hands. This was the third time in four weeks Sims has drawn eight…read more

  • Meager yardage in defeat

    Sims brought in five of eight targets for 26 yards in Washington's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Sims was unable to break free for any big gains, with his longest catch of the afternoon going for just 10 yards. The 24-year-old speedster has flashed in a couple of games this season with 92- and 110-yard efforts, but he's also been under 30 receiving yards in four of the last five contests alone, including a complete blanking over 55 snaps Week 10 against the Cowboys. Sims will continue as a boom-or-bust option in a Week 16 matchup against the Panthers.

  • Limited to one catch

    Sims caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Sims played 94 percent of snaps on offense, and he took his first carry of the season for a five-yard gain. He continues to dominate playing time opposite Terry McLaurin, yet is averaging only 3.3 targets in seven starts. It isn't clear if Sims will catch passes from Alex Smith (calf) or Dwayne Haskins in Week 15 against Seattle.

  • Five receptions Monday

    Sims recorded five receptions for 92 yards across 62 offensive snaps in Monday's win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Sims bounced back nicely in Week 13 after being held to no receptions the week prior. He had one of his most productive outings of the season as he now has 18 receptions for 337 yards and a touchdown on the year. He'll enter Sunday's game against the 49ers as Washington's No. 2 wideout.

  • Practically invisible Week 12

    Sims was not targeted during Thursday's 41-16 win against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Sims logged his fifth consecutive start during the second leg of a Thanksgiving NFL slate, but he was held without a reception for the first time since Week 5. The Alabama product had generated three consecutive multi-catch performances entering Thursday's matchup, including a three-catch, 110-yard receiving day Week 9 against the Giants. Sims garnered an ample workload of 55 offensive snaps, but Terry McLaurin (92 yards) was the only Washington player to eclipse 25 receiving yards in the…read more

  • Held to 20 yards

    Sims caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Sims got the start and played 84 percent of offensive snaps, but he was targeted only twice on Alex Smith's 25 pass attempts. The 6-foot-5 wideout continues to be highly efficient with his limited opportunities, averaging 2.5 catches for 51.5 yards on 3.0 targets per game since he became a starter in Week 11. It's possible Sims loses some work if Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) returns for Thursday's game against Dallas.

  • Retains starting role

    Sims is expected to remain in the starting lineup Sunday against the Bengals with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive for the contest.

    Analysis: Sims will likely serve as an outside receiver at the spot opposite Terry McLaurin, leaving Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright to share work out of the slot. Cam Sims has been a surprising source of big plays while Inman has been sidelined for the previous two games, hauling in seven of nine targets for 164 yards in those contests.

  • Gets another start

    Sims got the start and played 94 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Detroit, catching four of five targets for 54 yards.

    Analysis: Isaiah Wright and Steven Sims had six targets apiece, but both played less than half the snaps on offense, while Cam rarely left the field. It was his third consecutive start and third game in a row playing at least 74 percent of snaps. He's seen only 10 targets in that stretch, but he's made the most of them with eight catches for 186 yards. Despite the solid work, it is possible Sims loses some playing time when Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) is ready to play. Inman was a limited practice…read more

  • Picks up another start

    Sims will serve as one of Washington's starting receivers Sunday in Detroit with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive for the game, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Though Washington returned Steven Sims from injured reserve ahead of last week's loss to the Giants, Cam still retained a starting role while Inman was sidelined. With Steven on a limited snap count in Week 9, Cam essentially served as Washington's No. 2 wideout behind Terry McLaurin, finishing with three receptions for 110 yards on four targets. That sort of yards-per-target production likely won't be sustainable, however, especially if new starting quarterback Alex Smith opts to make the…read more

  • Works as No. 2 WR

    Sims caught three of four targets for 110 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Sims worked as the No. 2 WR with 74 percent snap share, while Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright got only 30 percent apiece. Granted, this was with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive and (Steven) Sims in his first game back from a prolonged absence, so it isn't necessarily clear Cam Sims will maintain the same role for Week 10 at Detroit. It is worth noting that Cam has been highly efficient with his limited chances this year, catching seven of eight targets for 171 yards and a touchdown.

  • Not productive despite high usage

    Sims caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Antonio Gandy-Golden (hamstring) went to IR after a Week 6 loss to the Giants and Isaiah Wright (shoulder) was ruled out for Sunday's game, so Sims started and played 88 percent of the offensive snaps. It didn't turn into much production, but he out-snapped both Dontrelle Inman by 38 snaps and Terry McLaurin by three snaps. That level of usage is bound to regress eventually, and with a Week 8 bye on tap, it's possible this was just a one-week surge.

  • Scores first NFL touchdown

    Sims caught his lone target for a 22-yard touchdown in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Sims came in for Isaiah Wright, who suffered what appeared to be a shoulder injury on the final drive. Antonio Gandy-Golden had injured his hamstring earlier in the game, so Sims, Terry McLaurin and Dontrelle Inman were Washington's only healthy wide receivers by the end. Sims promptly scored a touchdown, but his team came up short on the two-point attempt and wasn't able to recover the ensuing onside kick. Sims will have a top-three role at WR if Inman and Gandy-Golden can't make it back for…read more

  • Receives promotion

    Washington promoted Sims to the active roster Tuesday.

    Analysis: Sims has played both games thus far but has reverted to the practice squad following each outing. Despite playing mainly in a special-teams role, the 24-year-old receiver earned a full-time role on the active roster, but his offensive impact likely will still be minimal.

    Analysis: Sims was called up to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game, but he only ended up playing in four offensive snaps for Washington. He now returns to the practice squad, but he could be activated again Week 3 as Washington continues to deal with an injury-hampered receiving corps.

    Analysis: The move, along with the waiving of Trey Quinn, essentially confirms Dontrelle Inman and Antonio Gandy-Golden will be the No. 3 and 4 WRs to start the season, although it's possible the rash of early transactions by Washington could be in an effort to open up roster spots for additional signings down the road. In either case, expect the majority of the team's passing attack to funnel through Terry McLaurin and Steven Sims.

    Coach Ron Rivera mentioned Sims as one of Washington's more impressive wide receivers during training camp, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Terry McLaurin, Steven Sims and Dontrelle Inman have been getting most of the first-team work, but Inman in particular appears vulnerable to a challenge. Sims and rookie Antonio Gandy-Golden are the top candidates to apply pressure for outside receiver snaps, though Sims was limited to two receptions in seven games last year.

    Analysis: Sims saw each of his three targets over the final two weeks of the year, even playing 63 percent of snaps on offense in the season finale when Terry McLaurin (concussion) was unavailable. Sims will need to battle for a roster spot in 2020 under a new coaching staff, entering his third NFL season with minimal game experience. If he does stick around, it likely will be as the fourth or fifth choice at wide receiver.
