San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been placed on injured reserve and will miss his team's first three games this season at minimum, per ESPN's Field Yates.
The 49ers open the 2020 campaign at home on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals before hitting the road for battles against the New York Jets and Giants in back-to-back weeks.
Samuel, a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft, put together a solid rookie season. He was second on the team in receptions (57) and receiving yards (802) and found the end zone on six occasions.
