Deebo Samuel Addresses Frustration Over Reduced Role in 49ers Offense

The wide receiver's social media comments highlight his declining production and usage as the 49ers push for a playoff spot.

Deebo Samuel expressed frustration over his diminished role in the 49ers' offense, stating his lack of production is due to fewer opportunities rather than personal struggles.
Samuel's touches and yardage are at career-low levels, with his scrimmage yards per game on pace to be the lowest since joining the NFL.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged Samuel's concerns, affirming the team's intent to involve him more while urging players to keep such matters private.
Teammates, including quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end George Kittle, voiced strong support for Samuel, emphasizing his importance to the team's success.
With key offensive players sidelined by injuries, the 49ers may rely more heavily on Samuel as they face the Rams on Thursday and aim to secure a postseason berth.
