Going to COVID-19 list The 49ers placed Samuel (hamstring) on the reserve/ COVID-19 list Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Samuel already was ruled out for Thursday's game against the Packers, but after fellow wide receiver Kendrick Bourne landed on the COVID-19 list Wednesday, contact tracing went into effect, and the former was deemed to be in the "high-risk" category. Brandon Aiyuk (not injury related) is in the same boat, meaning the 49ers may be down to two wide receivers (Trent Taylor and Richie James) in Week 9.

Sidelined again Thursday Coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel (hamstring) won't play Thursday versus the Packers, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee

Impact After injuring his hamstring Week 7, Samuel was expected to miss multiple games, and indeed Shanahan's proclamation means the wide receiver will sit out for a second consecutive contest. With George Kittle (foot) likely out for the rest of the season, viable receivers are far and few between in San Francisco at the moment. In Samuel's stead, Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne and Trent Taylor can expect an uptick in usage.

Not practicing Monday Samuel (hamstring) is listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate.

Impact A multi-week absence was expected after Samuel hurt his hamstring Week 7, so it's not surprising that he's still not practicing ahead of Thursday's Week 9 clash with the Packers. Unless Samuel heals up faster than expected, he's likely to sit for a second consecutive game, paving the way for Brandon Aiyuk to headline a group of pass catchers that will also be missing tight end George Kittle (foot).

Not playing Sunday The 49ers have ruled Samuel (hamstring) out for Sunday's game at Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact As expected, Samuel will miss at least one contest due to the strained hamstring that he suffered this past Sunday in New England. His next chance to suit up will be Thursday against the Packers, but a more realistic expectation is the 49ers' Week 10 outing at New Orleans on Sunday, Nov. 15. With Samuel sidelined again, San Francisco will turn to Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor and Dante Pettis at wide receiver.
