San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will not play in Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season, according to a report from USA TODAY Sports. The announcement came on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with journalist Brian Polking confirming Samuel's absence for the upcoming game.
Samuel, a key offensive weapon for the 49ers, has been dealing with an unspecified issue that will keep him sidelined for this week's matchup. The team has not disclosed the exact nature of the injury or a timeline for his return.
The 49ers will need to adjust their offensive game plan without one of their most versatile playmakers, who contributes both as a receiver and a runner out of the backfield.
