The good news is that the San Francisco 49ers had no new injuries after Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

We’ll see if anything comes of the signing, especially a week after the secondary struggled. In an attempt to add team speed, Samuel Jr. could get one of the safeties off the field while Upton Stout potentially replaces Ji’Ayir Brown.
