Samuel’s status for the Lions game was up in the air earlier in the week due to a shoulder injury suffered in the Divisional Round win over the Green Bay Packers. The 28-year-old ended up missing the practice on Wednesday and was a limited participant on Thursday.

However, according to San Francisco’s head coach, Kyle Shanahan, a medical team has now cleared Samuel, and he is ready to go.

“It’s huge,” Shanahan said. “A little scary at the beginning of the week, but the fact he was able to go full-go today and no restrictions on him is definitely a good thing for us.”

Having Deebo Samuel on the pitch will be huge for the 49ers. Samuel has been a difference-maker for the team throughout the regular season, even if his numbers haven’t been eye-catching. He had 60 catches for 892 yards and seven touchdowns while also adding 225 yards and five TDs on the ground.

Samuel managed to make only two catches for 24 yards last week against the Packers before having to exit the contest.

Both Samuel and Purdy underwent a series of tests on Sunday that revealed the extent of both players’ injuries. Samuel is confirmed to have incurred a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and a sprained left ankle, while Purdy has picked up a rib and oblique injury.

Purdy is considered day-to-day by the team and is listed as a limited participant in training. As a result, he is a potential participant in the Niners’ upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.

Samuel, on the other hand, is expected to be sidelined entirely for some time and is “expected to return at some point during the regular season,” according to Shanahan. It was confirmed, however, that Samuel has not suffered any broken bones.

Purdy picked up his injury during Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he dived for a first down during the Niners’ second drive of the game. While he played through his injury, Samuel was not so lucky as he was carted off in the second quarter.

The Niners receiver incurred an injury on his left ankle during the second quarter of the 49ers’ resounding victory and was unable to return to the field for the remainder of the game. Following the game, coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Samuel likely suffered from a high ankle injury and that no breaks in the ankle were detected.

Despite the early loss of Samuel, the Niners did well to continue to take charge of the game, with rookie Brock Purdy delivering an impactful performance. The 262nd and final pick of the 2022 NFL draft, Purdy is the first final draft pick to both start and win an NFL game at quarterback. He finished the game 16-of-21 for 185 yards with two touchdowns.

“He did an awesome job,” Shanahan said of Purdy’s performance. “I think all you guys saw that. He made a ton of plays. He made the plays that were there. He made a lot of plays that weren’t there. He did a great job in the pocket. … It’s really impressive how he played.”

Samuel suffered the injury in the Niners’ first play from scrimmage in their Sunday game, coming up late after running a reverse play.

The injury was later diagnosed to be a hamstring strain, the second injury which will cause him to miss time in 2020. The first was a broken foot that he suffered in the preseason, which saw him miss San Francisco’s first four games.

Niners coach Kyle Shanahan appeared hesitant to put an exact timeline on Samuel’s return, but with only three games left in the regular season and San Francisco virtually eliminated from playoff contention, it seems reasonable to expect that he will not return until 2021.

The loss is a big one for the 49ers, who lose their fourth leading receiver and one of the breakout stars of their 2019 squad which advanced to the Super Bowl.

At the end of the day, Samuel’s 2020 season is a pretty good metaphor for the Niners: a series of disappointments which have led to a mostly lost season.

Speaking with KNBR on Tuesday, Lynch admitted that Samuel “may well miss some games” this season.

“Deebo was really working,” said Lynch. “That’s the wonderful thing about this kid. He has a desire to be great. A freak deal. A blow. Might we be whiteout him at beginning of the season? Yes. Fair to say he may well miss some games early in the year.”

In Samuel’s absence, 49ers’ will have to rely on their 2020 first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk to do the heavy lifting early. Head coach Kyle Shannahan’s other options on the position include Dante Pettis, Jalen Hurd, and Trent Taylor. Hurd and Taylor both missed 2019 with injuries, but are expected to be in full form this year.

Deebo Samuel had a successful rookie campaign in 2019, playing 15 games with 11 starts in the regular season. He had 57 receptions for 802 yards and three touchdowns en route to PFF All-Rookie Team selection.

Samuel was also a big contributor for San Francisco in the postseason, setting the Super Bowl record for most rushing yards by a wide receiver with his 53 yards run in Super Bowl LIV.
