San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel left Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with a hamstring injury after a late third-quarter fumble. Samuel was motionless on the field for several seconds following the turnover before limping to the sideline and being ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
The incident occurred at the 49ers’ 35-yard line when Samuel lost control of the ball, leading to a Seahawks recovery by cornerback Josh Jobe. The turnover proved costly as Seattle converted the takeaway into three points, kicking a field goal four plays later to extend their lead to 26-21.
Before exiting, Samuel had contributed two receptions for 21 yards and added two carries for four yards, showing involvement in both the passing and running game. The game itself had been marked by frequent turnovers, with seven total through three quarters.
The 49ers faced a challenge keeping their offensive momentum intact without Samuel, who had been a significant part of their attack. The Seahawks capitalised on the turnover to increase their advantage, intensifying the contest in the closing stages.
No further updates on Samuel’s injury status have been released by the 49ers as of now. The team will likely assess the severity of the hamstring issue in the coming days.
