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.

The NFL world was hit with brutal news on Monday night when Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome knee injury that will keep him out for the remainder of the 2023 season, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Chubb, one of the premier running backs in the NFL, was placed on Injured Reserve Wednesday, and has received an outpour of support from his fellow NFL peers following the horrific injury, including from San Francisco 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel.
Samuel, who appeared on the "Up and Adams" show with Kay Adams on Tuesday, offered his prayers to the injured running back, especially given his injury history in the past, dating back to his days with the Georgia Bulldogs.
"I mean, it's tough," Samuel said. "It kind of made me
Deebo Samuel says he's fine after 49ers feared rib injury
Brandon Aiyuk was inactive on Thursday night in the San Francisco 49ers' game against the New York Giants. The wide receiver has been dealing with a shoulder injury. Some feared that the Niners' other star wideout might also be ailing.
After a catch in the second half of the game, wide receiver Deebo Samuel was slow to get up and was examined on the sideline in the medical tent. He re-entered the game and even caught a touchdown after the injury.
After the game, Kyle Shanahan indicated that Samuel had sustained a rib injury. The head coach was asked if his receiver would need X-rays to determine the extent of the
One reason why Deebo Samuel and the 49ers love Brock Purdy
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy wasn't perfect on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, yet the team was talented and disciplined enough to beat its division rivals 30-23.
Purdy had arguably his worst game as a starter. The second-year quarterback earned an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 65.1, his lowest regular-season mark since Week 13 of 2022. He finished the game 17-of-25 for 206 yards and a passer rating of 93.1, a new regular-season career-low as a starter. The stat line might have been better had Purdy connected on a few passes to open receivers that were overthrown.
After the game, when asked about the offense's shortcomings against the Rams, Purdy
