49ers’ superstar WR Deebo Samuel is expected to be held out of practice as he nurses a rib injury, which he suffered in the fourth quarter of the team’s Week 3 win over the Giants. HC Kyle Shanahan also mentioned Samuel is working through some knee issues as well.
Fantasy Impact: Samuel returned to the game after the injury, catching a touchdown from Purdy in the waning minutes, but clearly was facing ill effects from the shot he took to his ribs after the game. The news of the knee injury is new, but it seems unlikely it is anything too significant. Thanks to some extra rest, Deebo has two more chances to log practice time ahead of the Niners’ Week 4 game against Arizona.
