Cam Sims News

Sims will try to carve out a larger role in Vegas after being buried on the depth chart in Washington since 2018. The 27-year-old wide receiver had eight catches last season.

Sims turned 27 in early January and has now made 55 career appearances since first catching on with Washington in early 2018. He's made 17 starts over the years but is rarely targeted even when he gets a lot of playing time, and his only chance at extensive snaps in 2022 came when rookie Jahan Dotson suffered a hamstring injury in October. Even then, Sims never saw more than two targets in a game despite playing at least 59 percent of snaps four weeks in a row. The Commanders seem to value the 6-5 wideout for his blocking and special-teams experience, so he could be back with the team in 2023 even though he's scheduled for unrestricted free agency.

Sims will suit up for his 14th game of the season despite being limited in each practice Week 15 with a back injury. He'll likely continue to slot in alongside Dax Milne as Washington's No. 5 and No. 6 receivers in this pivotal divisional matchup.

Sims was limited in practice all week while dealing with a back injury, placing uncertainty on his availability for Sunday's matchup with New York. If he's unable to go, the wide receiver's absence wouldn't carry much of an impact on their offensive gameplan.

Sims was limited for the second consecutive day ahead of Sunday's game with the Giants. The 26-year-old has seen just 15 snaps on offense over the team's two previous contests, so his potential Week 15 absence would likely not be of significance to the Commanders' offense. However, he'll work to ramp up his activity Friday to increase his odds of suiting up Sunday.

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.
