As soon as 49ers’ MVP Deebo Samuel fell down, grimacing on Sunday afternoon. I’m confident that everyone had the same thought — “Uh oh, how long is the 49ers’ best offensive player going to be out for?”
Luckily, the news wasn’t as bad as the 49ers will likely be without their star offensive weapon for the next 1-2 weeks. Samuel will undoubtedly miss the Week 13 matchup in Seattle but has an outside chance to return vs. Bengals in a pivotal game the following week.
Kyle Shanahan has practically constructed this offense around Deebo Samuel’s strengths this season by getting him the ball in a variety of ways and allowing him to create after the catch.
