Deebo Samuel, a wide receiver for the 49ers, has rib and knee injuries. He was categorized as questionable on Friday’s final injury report. Samuel is anticipated to play this afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, barring any pre-game hiccups.
This would account for the team’s decision to promote just one receiver on Saturday. Jauan Jennings, who had a shin injury and was rated as questionable, is not anticipated to participate. Jennings should be replaced by Ray Ray McCloud and Ronnie Bell.
Elijah Mitchell won’t play today either, according to Schefter. Mitchell hurt himself during practice on Thursday when he tripped and fell on his knee. His body keeps failing Mitchell. Review what you just read.
He stumbled and fell on his knee, which is why he can’t participate in the game. Since being selected by the 49ers in the 2021 draft, Mitchell will have missed 20 games in addition to the 18 that he has played in.
With Ty Davis-Price likely to play for the first time this year, Jordan Mason will probably return to his previous position as the backup running back.
