While the San Francisco 49ers await further imaging for star running back Christian McCaffrey, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Trent Williams avoided major injuries and are day-to-day.
McCaffrey , Samuel and Williams all came away with injuries in Sunday's 19-17 road loss to the Cleveland Browns -- San Francisco's first defeat of the season. Williams' ankle injury is not a high ankle sprain, Shanahan said. Samuel was hit on the shoulder while running a jet sweep on the Niners' first play from scrimmage."It's obviously a tougher position just because you get hit a lot more," Shanahan said."But we've just got to see how it reacts. We've got to see exactly what's wrong with it too because we haven't got that back yet.
McCaffrey leads the NFL in rushing with 553 yards despite being held to 43 yards on 11 carries before exiting the Browns game. He also has nine touchdowns through six games. All three players will get an extra day to rest and recover as the 49ers prepare for next Monday night's matchup at the Minnesota Vikings .
