49ers Face Critical Challenges as Deebo Samuel Joins McCaffrey on Sidelines

Star receiver Deebo Samuel will miss a couple of weeks with a calf strain, further complicating the 49ers' season already hit by key injuries.

  • Deebo Samuel strained his calf in the final minutes of Sunday's game against the Vikings and will be out for at least two weeks.
  • This injury comes on the heels of Christian McCaffrey being placed on injured reserve with Achilles tendinitis, sidelining him for at least three more games.
  • The 49ers will face the Rams and Patriots without their two most versatile offensive players, making these crucial games even more challenging.
  • San Francisco's offense has struggled to find the end zone, with Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle now expected to step up in Samuel's absence.
  • The Rams are also dealing with significant injuries, including the loss of top receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, which could impact the upcoming matchup.
