49ers-Raiders Injury Report: Deebo Samuel ruled out for Sunday but could return for Week 18

The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 17 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Deebo Samuel practiced for the second consecutive day. The wide receiver is attempting to return from MCL and ankle sprains sustained during Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fans won’t see Samuel return against the Raiders. The 49ers have ruled him out for Sunday. However, Samuel could play in the 49ers’ regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals.

“We’ll see how practice goes,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I mean, he’s got to do more practice than he did this week, but he’s got a chance to.”

The 49ers could have opened the practice window for running back Elijah Mitchell this week. He was not seen for the early portion of practice open to reporters.

“We actually would have opened [the practice window] today or maybe even yesterday, but he’s been home sick the last two days,” Shanahan explained. “We’ve had a bug going around but he was good enough start practicing today (even though he didn’t), so we’ll definitely start that next week.”
