The 49ers appear to have avoided a catastrophe with WR Deebo Samuel. An MRI on Monday revealed an MCL sprain, and the club expects him to return in the regular season per NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco.
Samuel was listed as a non-participant in the projected practice report for Tuesday with knee and ankle injuries. He went down awkwardly in the second quarter of Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers and left the field on a cart.
