Quick Summary

Story summary

Deebo Samuel, a key San Francisco 49ers receiver, will miss at least a few weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Samuel’s injury is significant and will keep him out of action for an unspecified duration. This setback comes as part of a series of injuries affecting the team's receiving corps, including Ricky Pearsall (knee), De’Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Demarcus Robinson (high ankle sprain), and Christian Kirk (calf). Despite these losses, Mike Evans remains the top receiver with 24 catches for 326 yards and three touchdowns. The 49ers will face the Washington Football Team on Monday night, but it's uncertain if Samuel or other injured players will return in time.

“But we do have guys in this building who can do it and we’ll always look (for more).” The only other injury from the game was to backup linebacker Garret Wallow, who had a less severe hamstring injury than Samuel but also will likely miss some time. Defensive end Nick Bosa (calf), fullback Kyle Juszczyk (knee) and defensive tackle James Thompson Jr. (ankle) all have a chance to return for Monday night’s game against Washington. ___
