The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for a huge NFC championship matchup with the Detroit Lions this Sunday. While they are a heavy favorite to win the game and go to the Super Bowl, it was thought they they may be without their superstar receiver/running back Deebo Samuel. Now the 49ers are getting a positive update for Deebo’s playing status for this huge matchup.
The 49ers, and especially Brock Purdy are not the same when Deebo is not on the field. He adds a huge element of offensive production unlike any other player in the league, maybe besides for fellow 49er Christian McCaffery. Deebo is unbelievable with yards after the catch and you can line him up just about anywhere, so his status for the game is huge for San Francisco.
San Francisco 49ers’ Deebo Samuel Limited At Practice
It was reported today by Adam Schefter that Deebo was limited at practice today but was able to practice with the team ahead of their huge matchup. So far, each day this week since the injury against the Green Bay Packers, Deebo has been trending in the right direction to play this game. Now he was able to log a practice although limited, which is great news for the team.
We know that he is suffering a shoulder injury that he injured much earlier in the season, but if he can go this week and the 49ers win, he will have two weeks to heal up for the Super Bowl. Knowing how tough Deebo is and the fact that he was already able to see the practice field today, it would be shocking if he did not suit up for the biggest game of his career so far.
Brock Purdy Needs Deebo Samuel
The 49ers have not been the same without Deebo in the lineup and that is especially the case for Brock Purdy as all of his numbers go down when Deebo is not out there. They also do not win the same way with Deebo not out there as most of the losses that came this year were when he was sidelined to injury.
Again, when Deebo went out against the Packers, Brock Purdy and the offense stalled for most of the game until the fourth quarter. It is obvious that they need Deebo to play in their most important game, and he can get two weeks off after this game to be fully healthy for the Super Bowl. This is a great sign for the receiver to be in the lineup on Sunday as he has two more chances to log a good practice ahead of the huge game. Knowing how tough Deebo is, it would be surprising if he can’t make the field this weekend.
