Deebo Samuel Ruled Out With Hamstring Injury in Week 5

Deepening San Francisco's thin receiver group, the hamstring injury will prompt target redistribution toward Mike Evans with George Kittle also likely to see more passes.

Overview

  • The San Francisco 49ers announced Sunday that wide receiver Deebo Samuel was ruled out of the Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks with a hamstring injury.
  • Samuel went down in the third quarter after taking a handoff, crumpled to the turf, fumbled on the play, and Seattle converted the turnover into a field goal.
  • He finished the game with two catches for 21 yards, two carries for four yards including the fumble, and two kickoff returns for 50 yards.
  • The injury compounds an already-depleted receiver room — Ricky Pearsall is out for the season and De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson are sidelined — and Jacob Cowing left the game with an ankle issue a few plays after Samuel was hurt.
  • Coaches and fantasy managers expect targets to shift to Mike Evans and George Kittle, and the team will monitor Samuel's recovery to determine his availability for Week 6.
