He was also spotted in some sort of pain during warmups, though he had his pads and jersey on when he was on the sidelines ready to go before the oxygen mask was worn. 

Then, after standing on the sideline, Samuel jogged back into the locker room and was ultimately out the rest of the game, wearing street clothes on the sideline with a towel wrapped around his neck. 

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Samuel woke up on Sunday not feeling well, though he tried to push himself to play with his team.
