The coach informed reporters that Samuel is working through rib and knee injuries. Following last Thursday night's game against the New York Giants, the 49ers feared Samuel may have sustained a serious rib injury. However, further examination revealed no break, and the receiver was just sore in the days after the game.
The knee injury is a new update.
"It was something we really didn't know until the next day, later in that day, just him being sore and stuff," Shanahan said of the knee injury. "He didn't realize it until later."
Others who will not participate in Wednesday's practice are linebacker Dre Greenlaw and wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Greenlaw is working through a low-ankle sprain, while Shanahan said Jennings has a shin injury.
Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles will be a limited participant on Wednesday. He is also dealing with a low-ankle sprain. Cornerback Ambry Thomas was among the 49ers' inactive players against the Giants and is working his way back from a knee injury. He, too, is limited.
Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was also among the 49ers' inactive players during the Week 3 contest due to a shoulder injury. He practiced on Monday and is doing so again on Wednesday, albeit as a limited participant.
