San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is expected to miss a couple of weeks due to a calf strain he sustained during the team's recent loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Despite his injury, Samuel had a productive game with eight receptions for 110 yards. With Samuel sidelined, Jauan Jennings is likely to step up alongside Brandon Aiyuk, while other receivers like Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell, and Jacob Cowing may also see increased roles.
- Deebo Samuel's calf injury will sideline him for a couple of weeks.
