49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was listed as questionable on Friday’s final injury report as he’s dealing with a rib and knee injury. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Samuel is expected to suit up this afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals, barring any pre-game setbacks.
That would explain why the team promoted only one receiver on Saturday. Jauan Jennings, who was listed as doubtful with a shin issue, is not expected to play. We should see Ray-Ray McCloud and Ronnie Bell in place of Jennings.
Elijah Mitchell, who injured himself during Thursday’s practice when he tripped and landed on his knee, won’t play today either, per Schefter.
