49ers expect Deebo Samuel (MCL, ankle sprain) back in regular season

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- When San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters Monday morning, he didn't have much in the way of injury updates on key players such as receiver Deebo Samuel and quarterback Brock Purdy.

That's because Samuel and Purdy were among a handful of Niners still having further tests done to determine the severity of their injuries. After a few anxious hours at 49ers headquarters, they got what can only be considered positive news in the wake of what had all the makings of a devastating Sunday on the injury front.
