Late in the San Francisco 49ers’ thrilling divisional round win over the Green Bay Packers, superstar wide receiver Deebo Samuel took a helmet to the knee that left him “sore” heading into this week of practice.
But fortunately for Niners Nation, the team’s most deadly offensive weapon was not listed on today’s injury report.
Samuel participated fully in practice and gave an encouraging message to his head coach.
“Kyle, I got you!” he told Kyle Shanahan, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Samuel’s production on the San Francisco offense has been invaluable all season. Through 16 regular-season games this year, the rushing/receiving talent collected 1,770 yards from scrimmage and 14 rushing and receiving touchdowns. He logged 44 receiving yards and 39 rushing yards in Saturday’s win over the Packers.
