## Resource

The 49ers are reeling from a brutal injury wave that’s left them short on key weapons—Jake Tonges out for the year, rookie De’Zhaun Stribling sidelined for ten weeks, and Ricky Pearsall done for the season. With the offense suddenly in flux, Deebo Samuel’s return isn’t just a luxury—it’s an urgent necessity. His familiarity with Shanahan’s system and team-friendly contract make him the perfect bridge player to fill the void. While he may not be expected to carry the load alone, his versatility could be the difference-maker as the 49ers navigate this unexpected challenge.
