It appears the 49ers got some good and bad injury news ahead of Week 4, with both Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams questionable for Sunday.
The San Francisco 49ers have listed both offensive stars as questionable for Week 4’s clash with the New England Patriots. The former returned to practice Thursday, while the latter was added to the injury report after practice the same day.
49ers’ coach Kyle Shanahan made the announcement Friday.
Samuel missed Week 3 due to a calf strain suffered during Week 2’s loss to Minnesota Vikings. His return to practice Thursday was surprising, as the team expected him to miss a couple weeks.
Meanwhile, Trent Williams was added to injury report after missing practice Friday due to a toe injury. He complained of soreness following Thursday’s practice, subsequently missing the following day’s session, hence his questionable status for Sunday.

Additionally, safety Talanoa Hufanga rolled his ankle during Thursday’s practice, and will also be questionable for Week 4. The Oregon native made his 2024 season debut in Week 3 following a 10-month ACL recovery.
Furthermore, tests confirmed that linebacker Curtis Robinson suffered a torn ACL, and will be out the rest of the 2024 season. He was carted off during the media portion of practice Thursday with an apparent leg injury.
On a positive note, both quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end George Kittle are cleared to play Week 4.
