Even though the San Francisco 49ers have already clinched the NFC West title, they want more. Now, with the end of the 2022 regular season ahead, Deebo Samuel, their main wide receiver, has talked about his availability for the game regarding his injury.
The San Francisco 49ers have had a very rough 2022 season with injured players. They lost Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo during the campaign and now Deebo Samuel’s health worries the team a lot.
The NFC West team will face the Arizona Cardinals in the Week 18. Even though they are alredy the Division champions, a win would put them in the fight for the No.1 seed, so Deebo Samuel would be very helpful for their objective.
Will Deebo Samuel play Week 18’s game against the Cardinals?
Injuries are not giving a breake to the San Francisco 49ers. After losing Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo this year, they were worried about Deebo’s Samuel’s health, who also had an issue in the last part of the season.
The wide receiver was carted off the field in Week 14 after he got a high ankle sprain. He has been unable to stay healthy, but doctors said he could return for the end of the regular season.
Now, Deebo Samuel addressed the situation and revealed if he’ll play against the Cardinals or not.
“Not necessarily trying to push,” Samuel said Wednesday, via The Associated Press. “I’m not going to risk myself. If I’m not 100% ready to go, I’m not going to go out there.”
According to the reports, Samuel was listed as full participant on Wednesday’s practice, increasing his odds of playing on Sunday. But of course the 49ers won’t pressure him as he would be more useful for the Playoffs.
