49ers LB Curtis Robinson carted off at practice with leg injury

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Curtis Robinson had to be carted off the field early in the team’s practice on Thursday.

The 49ers’ practice report issued later in the day listed Robinson as having a knee injury.

Robinson, 26, has played in three games this season solely on special teams. He has made 10 tackles in 15 career games with the Denver Broncos (2021) and the Niners (2021-24).

In better news for the injury-plagued 49ers, wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf), left tackle Trent Williams (illness) and linebacker Dee Winters (ankle) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out the day before. Tight end George Kittle, who missed Week 3 with a hamstring injury, practiced in a limited capacity for the second straight day.

The 49ers (1-2) take a two-game losing streak into Sunday’s home game against the New England Patriots (1-2).

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf strain) to miss a few weeks

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel strained a calf late in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and will miss a couple of weeks, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday.

Shanahan said Samuel believes he picked up the injury on the third-to-last play of the game, a 23-17 loss.

Samuel had a standout game, catching eight passes for 110 yards. He has 13 receptions for 164 yards through two games and added a rushing touchdown in the Niners’ Week 1 win over the New York Jets.

Samuel, a former Pro Bowler, continues to be a dual threat as a receiver and rusher. The 28-year-old has amassed 4,286 receiving yards (on 296 catches) and 19 touchdown catches as well as 1,020 rushing yards and 20 scores on the ground in his six-year career in San Francisco.

The 49ers will begin divisional play over the next four weeks and may be without Samuel for some or all of those games — at the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, home against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5 and at the Seattle Seahawks on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 6. Their bye week isn’t until Week 9.

The loss of Samuel comes shortly after the 49ers placed running back Christian McCaffrey, the reigning Offensive Player of the Year, on injured reserve with calf tightness and Achilles tendinitis.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) cleared for NFC title game

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel was cleared to play in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday against the visiting Detroit Lions.

Samuel suffered a left shoulder injury last weekend during the divisional playoff win over Green Bay and missed Wednesday’s practice. But after returning to practice in a limited fashion Thursday, Samuel was a full-go on Friday and received no injury designation into the game.

The shoulder is not fractured, according to coach Kyle Shanahan. Samuel suffered a microfacture in the same shoulder earlier in the season and missed two games and the bye week.

Only two players were listed as questionable: defensive tackle Kalia Davis (ankle) and linebacker Oren Burks (shoulder). Other key players who were on the injury report earlier in the week but are good to play include linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) and defensive tackle Arik Armstead (foot, knee).

Samuel, 28, caught 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for 225 yards and five scores in 15 games during the 2023 regular season.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel back at practice, but limited

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel returned to practice Thursday with the NFC Championship Game looming in three days’ time.

Samuel went down with a left shoulder injury in the first quarter of last Saturday’s 24-21 divisional round win over the Green Bay Packers. After trying to return to the game, he went to the locker room and was ruled out for the rest of the night.

Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Samuel has a 50-50 shot to play against the visiting Detroit Lions this Sunday. Though the shoulder was not fractured, Samuel was dealing with a lot of pain, per the coach.

Samuel was limited Thursday. Everyone else on the 49ers was a full participant, including defensive tackles Arik Armstead (foot, knee) and Kalia Davis (ankle), linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles), safety George Odum (biceps) and cornerback Ambry Thomas (hand).

Samuel, 28, caught 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for 225 yards and five scores in 15 games during the 2023 regular season.

The Lions saw rookie tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) return to practice on a limited basis Thursday. Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (knee), guard Jonah Jackson (knee), center Frank Ragnow (ankle, toe, knee, back) and corner Chase Lucas (illness) sat out for the second straight day.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) misses practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel missed Wednesday’s practice with his injured shoulder, and his status for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game remains uncertain.

“His shoulder hurts,” Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters, adding that Samuel is “feeling better.”

Shanahan said Monday that Samuel has a 50-50 shot to play against the visiting Detroit Lions.

Though the shoulder was not fractured, Samuel is dealing with a lot of pain, but Shanahan “feels better” about the prospect of Samuel playing.

Other than Samuel, Shanahan said everyone else was a full go at practice.

Samuel suffered the injury to his left shoulder in the first half of Saturday’s divisional round win against the Green Bay Packers and did not play in the second half. He caught two passes for 24 yards in the 24-21 victory.

“He’s probably the best playmaker in this league,” quarterback Brock Purdy said. “You get the ball in his hands, he can do whatever he wants. … Deebo definitely gives us some juice.”

Samuel also dealt with an injury to his left shoulder earlier in the season. He missed two games and the bye week in October and November with a microfracture in that shoulder.

Samuel, 28, caught 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for 225 yards and five scores in 15 games during the 2023 regular season.

He caught nine passes for 189 yards and a touchdown against the Lions in Dan Campbell’s first game as head coach in Detroit in 2021. The 49ers won the game 41-33.

Report: 49ers WR Deebo Samuel ’50-50′ to face Lions

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The San Francisco 49ers believe star receiver Deebo Samuel has a “50-50” shot to play in Sunday’s NFC title game against the Detroit Lions, ESPN reported Monday.

Samuel sustained an injury to his left shoulder in the first half of Saturday’s divisional round win against the Green Bay Packers and did not play in the second half. He caught two passes for 24 yards in the 24-21 victory.

Samuel, 28, caught 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for 225 yards and five scores in 15 games during the 2023 regular season. He missed Weeks 7 and 8 with a shoulder injury.

He reportedly underwent medical testing on Sunday but the team had not announced the results as of Monday morning.

49ers’ Deebo Samuel out 2 games; Christian McCaffrey questionable

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel will miss the next two games, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, after he was diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his shoulder.

Samuel, who was injured in last Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns, won’t play in Monday night’s game at the Minnesota Vikings (2-4) or next Sunday’s matchup with the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. The 49ers (5-1) are on a bye in Week 9, so the earliest Samuel will return to the lineup is Week 10 at the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“It’s always different (without Samuel),” Shanahan said. “What we did last week, we weren’t sure of him throughout the week, so we had contingency plans. He’s been banged up a few weeks before that, too, so this will give him a chance to settle down and, hopefully, come back 100 percent (out of the bye).”

Star running back Christian McCaffrey, who is nursing an oblique injury suffered in last Sunday’s game, is questionable after returning to the practice field in a limited capacity Saturday after not practicing Thursday or Friday. McCaffrey tied an NFL record last Sunday with a touchdown in his 15th straight game before exiting with the injury.

If McCaffrey doesn’t play, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason could share running back duties.

All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is doubtful after he played through an injury in last Sunday’s loss to the Browns. The 10-time Pro Bowl selection hasn’t played a full season since 2013.

Starting linebacker Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) is questionable for Monday’s game.

49ers’ Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel day-to-day

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Trent Williams are day-to-day after not participating in Thursday’s practice.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that McCaffrey, who was injured in Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns, is only dealing with an oblique issue, as the rib injury is no longer a concern.

Regarding McCaffrey’s MRI, Shanahan was asked by reporters if the result was encouraging.

“I thought it was,” Shanahan said. “Anyone who’s day-to-day, it means they’ve got a chance.”

Along with McCaffrey, Samuel (shoulder) and Williams (ankle), linebacker Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) and guard Aaron Banks (ankle) did not take part in Thursday’s practice.

Preparing for Monday night’s road game against the Minnesota Vikings (2-4), the 49ers (5-1) will also practice Friday and Saturday.

49ers say Deebo Samuel, Trent Williams day-to-day

Posted on | by Field Level Media

While the San Francisco 49ers await further imaging for star running back Christian McCaffrey, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Trent Williams avoided major injuries and are day-to-day.

McCaffrey (oblique/rib), Samuel (shoulder) and Williams (ankle) all came away with injuries in Sunday’s 19-17 road loss to the Cleveland Browns — San Francisco’s first defeat of the season.

Williams’ ankle injury is not a high ankle sprain, Shanahan said. Samuel was hit on the shoulder while running a jet sweep on the Niners’ first play from scrimmage.

McCaffrey’s injury, however, may not be something he can play through with protection.

“It’s obviously a tougher position just because you get hit a lot more,” Shanahan said. “But we’ve just got to see how it reacts. We’ve got to see exactly what’s wrong with it too because we haven’t got that back yet. We say oblique/rib, hopefully it’s not both, but we’ve got to wait to see for sure.”

McCaffrey leads the NFL in rushing with 553 yards despite being held to 43 yards on 11 carries before exiting the Browns game. He also has nine touchdowns (seven rushing, two receiving) through six games.

All three players will get an extra day to rest and recover as the 49ers (5-1) prepare for next Monday night’s matchup at the Minnesota Vikings (2-4).

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) questionable to return

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel exited Sunday’s game against the host Cleveland Browns due to a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

Samuel played San Francisco’s first two series, but he was then taken to the medical tent before heading back to the locker room.

Prior to exiting, Samuel was targeted once without a catch. He added a pair of carries for 11 yards.

Samuel, 27, entered Sunday with 20 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown through five games this season. He also had 84 rushing yards and a score.
