San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch joined KNBR on Friday morning and shared an update on Deebo Samuel. The star wide receiver missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, forcing many to wonder if he will be available on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
"Well, we haven't had him the first two days, so that's not great," Lynch said on the Murph & Mac show. "But I can tell you that Deebo is working tirelessly. He doesn't like missing games. He doesn't want to miss this game. And as I've told you, with other top-line players, there's certain guys where if they're not practicing on Thursday, hey, they're probably out. That's not the case with Deebo.
"Deebo's a guy you wait [for], and that's what we'll continue to do, to see that he can get healthy there before [the game]. But we're not going to put Deebo in harm's way, either. He's got to make up some ground, and we'll see where that ends up at the end of the week."
Lynch also doesn't want everyone to count out wide receiver Jauan Jennings and linebacker Dre Greenlaw. Like Samuel, neither has practiced this week.
"They're not there (ruled out)," Lynch said. "None of those guys are there yet. I think they're all questionable. None of them have practiced thus far this week, so hurting a little bit, but we're going to try to get all of them back. So we'll see.
"We've still got today's practice. We've got Saturday. We'll give those guys the full time as well to see if we can get them back. All important players to us."
