Kyle Shanahan explains how 49ers can get struggling All-Pro going

It's no secret that the best version of the San Francisco 49ers over the past several seasons has typically featured the best version of sixth-year wide receiver Deebo Samuel.

Injuries and illness have played a part in keeping Samuel from looking like the superstar receiver that the 49er Faithful are familiar with.

Samuel dealt with a calf injury during Weeks 3 and 4. Then, it was a wrist injury combined with pneumonia-like symptoms that landed Samuel in the hospital prior to Week 8. An oblique injury had Samuel's status up in the air against Tampa Bay in Week 10, too.
