ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins left tackle Chris Samuels will miss next week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, another blow to an already fragile offensive line.

**Chris Samuels**, OT
Washington Redskins

Age: 32

Height: 6-5 Weight: 314

College: Alabama

Experience: 10th season

The six-time Pro Bowler suffered a stinger during the first quarter of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Samuels had an MRI exam Monday to determine the severity of his injury. Redskins coach Jim Zorn said Samuels has "some tingling" and that the tackle needs time to "quiet this thing down."

The Redskins already are without right guard Randy Thomas, who's lost for the season with an arm injury.

For next week's game, the Redskins will rely on at least two linemen who didn't play in the league last season. With Samuels out, Washington managed just 198 yards total offense against Carolina.
