49ers WR Deebo Samuel out a ‘couple weeks’ due to calf strain


San Francisco wideout Deebo Samuel will miss time after suffering a calf injury Sunday.

Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that Samuel suffered a calf strain in the team’s 23-17 Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and will be out a “couple weeks.”

This season, Samuel has recorded 13 receptions for 164 yards, along with 10 carries for 13 yards and a rushing touchdown.

The 28-year-old is just the latest Niners star to be sidelined, as he joins running back Christian McCaffrey, who was recently placed on injured reserve to deal with calf and Achilles injuries.

Samuel was selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft and has spent his entire career in San Francisco. 

The 2021 Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro has 4,286 receiving yards, 1,020 rushing yards and 39 total touchdowns so far in his career.
