No news was good news for 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel on Friday. The 2019 second-round pick has missed the 49ers’ last three games with a hamstring injury, but he was not listed on the team’s status report for Sunday’s game against the Rams.
Samuel initially injured his hamstring late in the 49ers’ Week 7 blowout win over the Patriots. The ailment wound up pushing him out all the way through the Bye week as the team tried getting as healthy as possible for a late-season playoff run.
This wasn’t the first time the second-year receiver has missed games. He was also out the first three weeks with some lingering effects of a foot injury he suffered during an offseason workout. Sunday will be just his fifth game of the year. He has 16 receptions for 185 yards and a touchdown to go along with six carries for 14 yards.
Here’s what San Francisco’s official status report looks like:
