Along with dropping their first loss of the season, multiple key members of the San Franciso 49ers suffered injuries. With a Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings looming, head coach Kyle Shanahan announced new injury updates with different designations for Monday’s primetime contest in Santa Clara.
Starting with Deebo Samuel, the star wide receiver will miss Monday’s game against the Vikings, along with next week’s game against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Samuel suffered a hairline fracture in his shoulder.

With Samuel out, Jauan Jennings and Ronnie Bell will likely see an increased role against the Vikings on Monday Night Football. Kickoff in Santa Clara is set for 5:15 p.m. PT at Levi’s Stadium.
