Deebo Samuel didn’t hit the practice field Thursday, Oct. 22, and that’s a huge problem for the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 7 matchup against the Falcons. With one of their top playmakers sidelined, the receiver room is looking dangerously thin as they head into a crucial game.
The Injury Bug Bites Hard
It looks like Samuel, nursing that hamstring, is probably gonna miss the game. Talk about bad luck, because Mike Evans is also shaky with an Achilles and ribs. Seriously, what are the 49ers gonna do? Their receiving corps is already stretched, and losing two potential starters, or having them severely limited, throws a huge wrench in their plans.
Who Steps Up for San Francisco?
So, who’s left to carry the load? You gotta figure George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are gonna see a ton of targets. They’ll have to shoulder a lot of the offensive responsibility, no doubt. Keep an eye on Christian Kirk, too. If he gets cleared from his calf injury for his season debut, he could be super busy. The Niners are going to need every available playmaker to step up big time.
It’s gonna be a tough road for the 49ers heading into that Week 7 game against the Falcons. They’re going to need their remaining playmakers to step up big time and deliver. Let’s see if they can weather this storm and find a way to win.
