San Francisco 49ers Injury Report: Key Players Questionable for Super Bowl
Deebo Samuel (Ankle)
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel suffered an ankle injury in the NFC Championship Game and is listed as questionable for the Super Bowl. Samuel is a key part of the 49ers offense and his absence would be a major blow. He has 1,405 receiving yards and six touchdowns this season.
Fred Warner (Elbow)
Linebacker Fred Warner is also listed as questionable for the Super Bowl with an elbow injury. Warner is one of the best linebackers in the NFL and his presence on the field is crucial for the 49ers' defense. He has 118 tackles and two interceptions this season.
Elijah Mitchell (Knee)
Running back Elijah Mitchell is listed as questionable for the Super Bowl with a knee injury. Mitchell has been the 49ers' leading rusher this season with 963 rushing yards and five touchdowns. If he is unable to play, the 49ers will likely turn to Jeff Wilson Jr. or Jordan Mason to carry the ball.
Other Injuries
In addition to the three players listed above, the 49ers have a few other players who are dealing with injuries. Defensive end Nick Bosa is dealing with a calf injury but is expected to play in the Super Bowl. Cornerback Charvarius Ward is also dealing with a calf injury and is listed as questionable. Safety Jimmie Ward is dealing with a quadriceps injury and is also listed as questionable.
Outlook
The 49ers are hoping to have all of their key players available for the Super Bowl. However, the injuries to Samuel, Warner, and Mitchell are a concern. If any of those players are unable to play, the 49ers will have to adjust their game plan accordingly.
