After seeing Dre Greenlaw go down in Super Bowl 58 with an Achilles injury, the San Francisco 49ers avoided another potentially serious loss after Deebo Samuel appeared to suffer a hamstring injury in the third quarter.

Despite being listed as questionable to return, Samuel found his way back to the field later in the quarter.

Samuel appeared to grab his hamstring area late on his route on the 49ers’ unsuccessful third down play, and he went to the grass at Allegiant Stadium with 9:15 remaining in the quarter.

Samuel walked off the field under his own power and made his way to the blue medical tent.
