The San Francisco 49ers have had a decent season so far. They will look to build further on their position when they take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football in week 12. But it may mean more work for running back Christian McCaffrey as they have an offensive weapon down. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is back on the injury report with another hamstring problem.

Will the versatile wide receiver miss another game?

Samuel is listed as questionable for the Niners’ week 12 game against the Saints. But head coach Kyle Shanahan told the press that Samuel’s hamstring problem is not the same that made him sit out of the Rams matchup. “No. It’s something different,” Shanahan said.  The HC added that the team was just being safe about their offensive weapon.“We got back [from Mexico City] at seven in the morning. I’m sure he went home and slept for a while. It was a little weird day. Didn’t feel much on Tuesday. Got the information on Wednesday and then we were safe about him,” the Niners HC added.
