The 49ers are 5-0, just left Seattle with a 32-29 win, and somehow still have enough injury concerns to make an undefeated fan base sweat. Winning fixes plenty, but it won’t repair the 49ers’ Week 6 injury report.
The 5-0 San Francisco 49ers face multiple roster challenges ahead of their Week 6 matchup against Washington on Monday, October 19. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that receiver Deebo Samuel will miss time due to a hamstring injury, further depleting a wide receiver corps that is already missing Christian Kirk, Ricky Pearsall, and Demarcus Robinson. Additionally, linebacker Dre Greenlaw is appealing a one-game suspension following an incident against Seattle.
Stadium Rant highlights that Mike Evans and Brandin Cooks will take on increased responsibility in Samuel's absence, though Evans is managing a rib injury. Shanahan indicated that Nick Bosa, Kyle Juszczyk, and James Thompson Jr. each have a chance to return for Week 6. Rookie linebacker Jaden Dugger stepped up in Week 5, recording nine tackles and a sack after replacing Greenlaw.
