Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and Trent Williams (right ankle) are listed as day-to-day while Christian McCaffrey (oblique/rib) still awaits additional imaging.

It was unclear on Sunday when, exactly, Samuel and McCaffrey were injured but Shanahan offered some clarity on that as well. Samuel hurt his shoulder on the first play from scrimmage, an 8-yard run by him on a jet sweep. McCaffrey left the game in the third quarter but returned for one play -- a 6-yard run with just under three minutes left in the quarter -- before heading to the sideline and then the locker room. The Niners ruled out his return with 10:58 to play. The in and out made it harder to nail down when McCaffrey's injury occurred.
Shanahan indicated that Mason and Mitchell would both get opportunities if McCaffrey can't play against the Vikings. He also offered some optimism that McCaffrey could be available for that game.
