Sample was waived by Washington on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sample's tenure in Washington came into question following the draft which yielded the arrival of several new defensive players. Sample last played in the NFL during the 2015 season with the Jaguars.

Sample was released by the Jaguars on Sunday, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample had been in Jacksonville since the Jaguars drafted him in the fourth round of the 2015 draft. However, he only appeared in four games across two seasons due to a combination of forearm and shoulder injuries. The team replaced him with fellow safety Jeron Johnson, formerly of the Chiefs.

Sample (shoulder) has been placed on the IR by the Jaguars, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample was injured during the preseason with what was believed to be just a stinger, but the issue appears to be more severe than originally expected as he's been placed on injured reserve. The 24-year-old safety will look to get back to full health before trying once again to make an NFL roster.

Sample (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Sample left Thursday's preseason opener against the Jets after he suffered an arm stinger. A timetable for his injury is still unknown, but any absence of time is detrimental to his chances of landing a spot on the 53-man roster.

Sample is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason opener against Jets due to an arm stinger, John Oehser of Jaguar.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample headed into Thursday's matchup competing for a roster spot. He currently projects as the third strong safety on the team's depth chart. The 24-year-old played in four games from the Jaguars in 2015, and posted eight tackles in the process.

Sample suffered a fractured right arm during OTAs, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official website reports. A fourth-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Sample is still expected to be available at some point before the end of training camp. Once healthy, he may have the opportunity to compete with Sergio Brown and Josh Evans for a starting spot alongside Johnthan Cyprien, though the injury could be a major setback to Sample's chances.
