Post-game update: The 49ers lost a heart-breaker to the Browns 19-17 and they also suffered some tough injuries. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel was forced from the game with a shoulder injury, while Christian McCaffrey left due to a abdominal injury. The good news so far is that Samuel’s x-rays turned out clean, but he will still have an MRI to get a deeper look at the injury.
Per source, X-rays are negative on 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder). MRI still to come.

Update: Samuel has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game vs. the Browns.
The San Francisco 49ers are taking on the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 49ers versatile offense took a hit as prolific wide receiver Deebo Samuel was getting looked at on the sideline. He was then moved to the injury tent for further evaluation.

Before the injury, Samuel couldn’t bring in his lone target. He did have two carries for a total of 11 yards. As long as he is sidelined, quarterback Brock Purdy will look to lean on Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, Jauan Jennings and Ronnie Bell in the passing game.
