The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with another notable injury. The 49ers, who recently put All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve, will also be without receiver Deebo Samuel for a couple of weeks after he strained his calf in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. 

Samuel will likely miss -at least one of the 49ers’ upcoming games against a division rival. The 49ers will travel to take on the Rams (a fellow NFC West team) in Week 3 before returning home to face the Patriots in Week 4. They’ll host division rival Arizona in Week 5 before traveling to face fellow NFC West foe Seattle in Week 6.  

Samuel caught 8 of 10 targets for 110 yards in Sunday’s 23-17 loss to the Vikings that dropped San Francisco to 1-1 after two games. He caught 5 of 9 targets for 54 yards and also rushed for 23 yards and a score in the 49ers’ season-opening win over the New York Jets.
