Deebo Samuel Cleared To Play
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shin) saw limited practice time all week, but he was taken off the final injury report for Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has been cleared to play on Sunday. Samuel has been managing a shin injury in recent weeks, but he continues to play through it and be extremely productive. The 25-year-old leads the NFL in yards after the catch and went off for five catches (five targets) for 97 yards and a touchdown while also carrying the ball five times for 36 yards and a score last week in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. Samuel is behind only Cooper Kupp in receiving yards (979) and has a mouthwatering matchup against the Jaguars this weekend. He's a must-start WR1 and could see some more rushing attempts with running back Elijah Mitchell (finger) doubtful and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) out.
