Rapoport: 49ers WR Deebo Samuel ‘expected to miss a little time’ with injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Deebo Samuel exited Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a groin injury. He is undergoing an MRI today to determine the severity of the injury.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the team's leading receiver is "expected to miss a little time." However, the good news is that the injury does not appear to be a long-term one.
"
My groin got kind of tight once I went to make a move," Samuel explained after the 49ers' 34-26 victory. "So, I was just like, 'Let's not make nothing any worse.' And that's why I just went down. ... Not too much concerned. I've got an MRI and stuff in the morning, and we'll just go see how it goes."
This morning, the receiver did tweet out the following. While Samuel often notes that not all of his social media posts are football-related, fans are likely hoping this one is an indication that the injury is not serious.
Samuel has recorded 56 catches for 1,006 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns this season. He is the
first 49ers wide receiver to surpass 1,000 receiving yards since Anquan Boldin did so in 2014.
Samuel also has 25 carries for 203 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. One hundred forty-five of those rushing yards have come over the last two weeks.
Linebacker
Fred Warner is also undergoing an MRI due to a hamstring injury suffered in the same game.

Kyle Shanahan feels "really fortunate" with 49ers' QB room
Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game. Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam
