49ers’ wide receiver Deebo Samuel injured his calf against Minnesota Sunday and is looking at a two-week absence with Christian McCaffrey already on injured reserve.When Christian McCaffrey went down, the 49ers could take solace in the fact that they had another versatile and dynamic weapon in Deebo Samuel.
“Injuries from the game, just one new one — Deebo ended up having a calf strain,” Shanahan said as he opened his conference call Tuesday with local writers. “He’ll probably miss a couple of weeks. That’s it.”Samuel led the 49ers with eight receptions for 110 yards with a long of 28 in Sunday’s 23-17 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He also had two carries which lost 10 yards.
Since McCaffrey arrived in 2022, it will be the first time Shanahan has coached a game with both players sidelined.
