Deebo Samuel SCARY INJURY in 49ers vs Buccaneers

But the win didn't come without a cost as receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a left ankle injury in the second quarter and did not return. The injury was initially announced as a knee but was later changed to an ankle, which offered the Niners' hope that it might not be serious. The San Francisco 49ers' dominant 35-7 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday came with an encouraging arrival and a disappointing departure. Making his first NFL start, rookie quarterback Brock Purdy put together one of the best first halves in a starting debut in NFL history as the Niners surged to a big early lead and never looked back in a 35-7 victory. San Francisco improved to 9-4 with its sixth win in a row and can clinch the NFC West division crown as soon as Thursday night if it can beat the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. #deebosamuel #injury #49ers
