In a pivotal upcoming NFC West matchup, the San Francisco 49ers will be without two of their most important players: wide receiver Deebo Samuel and linebacker Fred Warner.
Samuel, the team’s leading receiver by more than double the yardage, suffered a groin strain and is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks as a result, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday. Shanahan also noted that Warner will miss the divisional matchup with a strained hamstring, though his prognosis is a little more optimistic, and the expectation is that the linebacker will return in time to play Cincinnati on Dec.
