Deebo Samuel (fractured shoulder) to miss at least two games for San Francisco

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will miss at least the next two games with a hairline fracture in his shoulder, the team announced.

What It Means:

The diagnosis comes after three straight missed practices for the star wide receiver. He'll now miss at least Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7 and a Sunday matchup versus Cincinnati in Week 8. The team then has a bye before returning to action in Week 10. Brandon Aiyuk's status as top pass-catcher will only grow with Samuel out, and Jauan Jennings, Ray-Ray McCloud III and Ronnie Bell will have to step up behind him.

In 6 games this season, Samuel has 20 catches on 32 targets for 302 yards and a touchdown.
