Deebo Samuel Sr. is Ruled Out with Hamstring Injury

Sunday, October 11, 3:00 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to John Dickinson. Samuel looked to be in bad shape when he gingerly limped across the field during the third quarter. He was quickly ruled out for the rest of this game, and we'll see if he's able to suit up against the Washington Commanders next week. He'll finish his day, hauling in two receptions for 21 yards, while rushing the ball twice for an additional four yards on the ground. Mike Evans, Jacob Cowing, and George Kittle will be the primary pass-catchers for the rest of this game.
