Overview
- Samuel was ruled inactive for the Monday night game against the Washington Commanders because of a right hamstring injury and Shanahan said he is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks.
- The 49ers beat the Commanders on Monday night to extend their unbeaten start while the team is evaluating short‑term roster options and relying on veteran receivers to fill Samuel’s role.
- Over the weekend, Samuel hosted a TikTok e‑dating livestream where he acted as a matchmaker for two users and a screenshot of the session featuring accounts named “Bebo” and “Isabel” went viral.
- Samuel did not participate as a dater on the stream because he is in a long‑term relationship with Mahogany Jones, and he had totaled 16 catches for 206 yards and three touchdowns this season before the injury.
- Samuel’s hamstring absence ties into a broader durability pattern linked to his physical style of play, so the team’s next steps to monitor recovery and any roster moves will shape San Francisco’s short‑term offensive plans.
