Deebo Samuel, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, is expected to miss multiple games due to a shoulder injury. He has already been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Vikings and is expected to miss the following game as well. Head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that Samuel has a hairline fracture in his shoulder, which will keep him out for at least three weeks, including the team's Week 9 bye. It remains to be seen whether the 49ers will place Samuel on injured reserve or if they expect him to return before the end of November. In Samuel's absence, Brandon Aiyuk is expected to have an increased role, with other options like Jauan Jennings, Ronnie Bell, Ray-Ray McCloud, or a potential trade addition also factoring in.
