Kyle Shanahan surely misses Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey in the 49ers lineup.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

With running back\u00a0Christian McCaffrey\u00a0already sidelined for the next three games, the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0will also be without wide receiver\u00a0Deebo Samuel\u00a0for the next few weeks. Coach\u00a0Kyle Shanahan\u00a0shared that\u00a0Samuel sustained an injury in the last minutes\u00a0of Sunday’s 23-17 defeat against the Minnesota Vikings and is expected to miss \u201ca couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Samuel\u2019s injury comes just after the 49ers placed\u00a0All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey\u00a0on injured reserve with a sore calf and Achilles tendinitis. With both Samuel and McCaffrey sidelined, San Francisco loses two of its top three performers from last season in touchdowns and yards from scrimmage.<\/p>\n

Shanahan stated that Samuel sustained the injury with just over two minutes remaining in the game.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHe told me he thinks he did it when he caught, I think it was the third to last play,\u201d the 49ers head coach said. \u201cThey had a blitz down in the red zone. He caught the hot route breaking in. He says he thinks he did it on that play.\u201d|<\/p>\n

With 2:18 left in the fourth quarter, Niners quarterback Brock Purdy completed a short pass to Samuel for a 2-yard gain. Samuel, wincing in pain, limped off the field, favoring his right leg, as seen in the replays before the two-minute warning.<\/p>\n

After missing one snap, Samuel returned to the game and caught a deflected backward pass, which resulted in a 9-yard loss on San Francisco’s final offensive play before the field goal attempt. He ended the game with eight catches for 110 yards and two carries for -10 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you lose real good players, it’s always tough.But it happens all over the league and it’s a huge part of this league and a huge part of this game. We\u2019ve got to deal with it,\u201d Shanahan\u00a0said while addressing the media.<\/p>\n

Samuel has had a good season so far for the 49ers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Samuel has been San Francisco’s top receiving target this season. With Brandon Aiyuk still regaining his form after missing all of training camp due to a contract dispute, Samuel leads the team with 13 receptions for 164 yards.<\/p>\n

The 49ers star wide receiver has also served as the team\u2019s No. 2 running back in McCaffrey\u2019s absence, scoring a touchdown in the season opener against the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
Samuel\u2019s latest injury adds to a history of frustrating, short-term setbacks. Since he entered the NFL in 2019, Samuel has struggled to finish a full season, sidelined by injuries to his groin, foot, hamstring, ankle, knee, and shoulder.<\/p>\n
\n

San Francisco\u2019s current wide receiver corps features Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Jacob Cowing, Chris Conley, and Ronnie Bell to cover for Samuel’s absence.<\/p>\n

The 49ers also have an open roster spot due to\u00a0McCaffrey\u2019s placement on IR. Shanahan, however, remains unsure whether he\u2019ll use that spot to bring in another receiver or running back.<\/p>\n

San Francisco has three healthy running backs: rookie Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor Jr., and Jordan Mason. Guerendo has had one carry for no yards, while Taylor has only played on special teams.<\/p>\n

Deebo Samuel had been showing promise after a strong training camp, and Kyle Shanahan noted he was pleased with his performance in the two games before the injury.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
