The San Francisco 49ers have been without one of their best players over the past two weeks.
After suffering a shoulder injury, Deebo Samuel was absent during the 49ers’ three-game skid.
While the timetable for his return to play is largely unknown, Samuel provided an update on “Up and Adams” saying: “I’m ready to go.
” Whether Kyle Shanahan will allow him to suit up in the 49ers’ next game against the Jacksonville Jaguars remains to be seen.
However, with the game against the Jaguars coming after the 49ers’ Week 9 bye, it seems increasingly likely that Samuel could go.
With the 49ers’ recent struggles, many analysts have begun to complain about them, especially as potential NFC champions.
While the three-game losing streak doesn’t necessarily mean a death sentence for the 49ers’ chances for the rest of the year, they’ve shown they’re not invincible.
Brock Purdy recently showed his inexperience, throwing more interceptions in three games than in the previous five.
The defense has given up an unusually high number of points during this stretch, traditionally the unit that keeps the 49ers in the game.
If the 49ers lose to the Jaguars in Week 10, it might be time to panic.
For now, they’re focusing on their sabbatical, hoping Samuel and the rest of the team can return to full health.
If he returns to attack, ready to contribute massively, it could mark the start of a second-half comeback.
