SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers will have to wait at least one more game to get receiver Deebo Samuel back on the field but will have Kendrick Bourne available when they visit New Orleans.
Coach Kyle Shanahan says Samuel has been ruled out for a third straight game with an injured hamstring.
Bourne was activated from his second stint on the COVID-19 list and took part in a walkthrough after missing last week’s game.
The Niners also will have rookie receiver Brandon Aiyuk on the field after he missed last week as a “high risk” close contact with Bourne.
