San Francisco 49ers star receiver Deebo Samuel won't practice Wednesday while dealing with a shoulder injury suffered in the Divisional Round, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Coach Kyle Shanahan noted that Samuel is "feeling better," which "makes me feel better," but offered no further indication about the wideout's status for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions.
"His shoulder hurts," Shanahan said. "That's all, yeah, it just hurts."
Samuel suffered the injury in the first quarter of the win over the Green Bay Packers, playing just nine offensive snaps. X-rays on the shoulder came back negative, but his status remains uncertain this week. The victory over the Packers marked the 49ers' first win during the 2023 season in which Samuel played 10 or fewer offensive snaps.
