Deebo Samuel-WR-South Carolina

Rest him until the playoffs. With CMC, Kittle, Aiyuk and our D, we should be able to take care of business the rest of the way.

If he is 100% I want him to play the last game of the regular season a bit just to shake off the dust.

So took a look at the remaining schedule. Obviously we've got Seattle on Thursday, and that's the big one. After that we've got the Washington-Whoever-They-Are-This-Week, Raiders, and Cardinals - possibly with Murray out for the season. There is no way Deebo is back for Seattle or Washington, and those are the only real threats. Washington's got some nice pieces on defense, but I can't see their offense doing much against us. I just don't want to see Purdy take a beating from that D-line. I really don't see the need to rush Deebo back for the Raiders or Cardinals, so just let him heal up for the playoffs.

As far as the #2 seed, Vikings have got the Colts, Giants, Packers, and Bears. I can't see them losing to the Colts. Giants have been in a bit of a slump, so that's iffy. And the divisional games against the Packers and Bears are both away. I really think are chances at the #2 seed come down more to the Giants and Packers games than anything else. Again, nothing Deebo can help with - so rest him and let him heal.

We might be playing the Commies in the first round of the playoffs.

Didn't Mitchell have the same injury (mcl sprain) and needed 8 weeks to recover?

Deebo prob has more a 1+ grade sprain. That can be a 3-4 week time frame. Mitchell had more of a grade 2-2+. Those can take 2-3 months sometimes. These guys are also getting 24 hour medical care and are elite athletes genetically. So they tend to recover quicker than the average Joe

Rewatching the play where Deebo got injured, if he follow his blockers towards the left, he would have broke it for a long gain.

Deebo gonna deebo, if I was KS I would use him as a RB less and use Mason for the tough yards instead, especially when the team is up 2 TDs+.

If I was Shanahan, with Deebo out, I would feature Mason at RB and sprinkle in CMC. I would then line up Aiyuk, Jennings and CMC at WR. This would hopefully help preserve CMC a bit for the playoffs until Deebo comes back.

Deebo not having a serious injury is the first time the football gods have shown any mercy on us. Hahah

Hopefully we stay healthy the rest of the season and get Kinlaw, deebo, Givens, ridgeway etc back for the playoffs. Then we will be primed to make some serious noise

The rust thing really only applies to QB and play callers.

3 weeks? I will take it!

Ya rust happens no matter what position. QBs would have it the hardest though.

Deebos injury might be a blessing in disguises - he will be back before the end of the season - it gives him an opportunity to heal up his body before the post season. So That nagging hamstring and All that. He will be relatively fresh in the playoffs 😍
