Deebo Samuel injury update: IR possible for 49ers receiver

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is a candidate for injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury during the third quarter of their Week 5 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that Samuel will miss at least the upcoming Week 6 game against the Washington Commanders and likely Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. Although Samuel's return is uncertain, Shanahan mentioned that the team is considering IR due to the potential severity of the injury, which could require him to miss at least four weeks. The 49ers will also take a bye in Week 8, meaning Samuel's return could not occur until Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
