49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (finger/ribs/concussion) will not play Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals. WR Deebo Samuel (groin) is questionable.

Related Players: Jeff Wilson Jr., JaMycal Hasty

It appears as if Wilson is good to go and will start for the 49ers this week, but look for Hasty to see a decent workload.

Elijah Mitchell and Trenton Cannon are both in the concussion protocol. They’re unlikely to go through a full practice Wednesday but certainly have a shot to play in Cincinnati. The 49ers also think Deebo Samuel has a good chance to be back this week from his groin injury.

The news about Samuel on Tuesday was a bit up and down overall with some reports more positive than others, but the general feeling overall seems like there is a chance he can play in Week 14. This particular story said "good chance." It would certainly be a good sign if Mitchell can practiced in at least a limited form on Wednesday so owners will want to take note. Hasty is probably the team's most healthy running back, but the story thinks Wilson will be able to practice this week after his knee swelled up recently. This RB situation is a fluid one heading into Week 14. To make matters worse, Samuel has had more time running the ball over the last few weeks.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) remains day to day, but Shanahan said he is hoping to get him back this week, too.

Samuel was scheduled to miss a week or two, but the Niners hope to see him back for Week 14 after missing Week 13. Mitchell entered concussion protocol on Monday after being cleared on Sunday and after the game, so his status is up in the air, as is Wilson's who had his knee flare up, according to the story. Samuel has been used more as a runner lately but is a weapon the 49ers would love to get back with so many other question marks at RB.

Nothing changes from their expected statuses earlier this week.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan with following injury updates:

WR Deebo Samuel (groin) -- It's a strain. Expected to miss 1-2 weeks.

Samuel will miss Week 13, an away game at Seattle, but the team hopes to have him back for Week 14, an early game at Cincy. The good news is owners will have time to adjust lineups if he's a game-time call in Week 14. Samuel had been seeing more work as a runner so Aiyuk and Jennings likely lead the way as receivers while Mitchell and Wilson should eat up Samuel's carries.

Jauan Jennings averaged six offensive snaps over his first seven games. That average has jumped to 30 in the last three. What’s more, it’s clear Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan are gaining trust in him. The 49ers targeted Jennings twice in the deep red zone, and he would have had two touchdowns had his knee hit the ground an inch inside the sideline on the second target. Jennings also was the target on Garoppolo’s first third-down pass — a 21-yard first down — and was worked into the trick play that resulted in a holding penalty on Minnesota’s Patrick Peterson.

Jennings began the season as the team's WR5, but could end up at the team's WR2 assuming Samuel (groin) misses at least Week 13. Even when Samuel returns, Jennings could still have a role as Samuel has been used more as a running back over the last couple of weeks.

49ers WR/offensive weapon Deebo Samuel will have an MRI on his groin today and while he’s expected to miss a little time.

The good new is, it’s not considered a major injury, the source said. Samuel was used more as a runner in Week 12 so this may not even create more targets for guys like Aiyuk, Sanu and Jennings. But, it may get Mitchell and Wilson more rushing opportunities. Wilson had just two carries while Mitchell went for 27-133-1 while adding five catches for 33 yards. Owners should probably figure on Samuel missing at least Week 13, with the hope of him returning for Week 14, or at worst, the fantasy playoffs.

Deebo Samuel said there’s “not too much concern” about severity of his groin injury.

Samuel said he will have MRI in the morning on his injured groin. Samuel added he could feel it tighten up and wanted to come out immediately to ensure it didn’t worsen. If you watched any of the broadcast, Samuel was seen on the sideline joking with teammates, smiling and even giving them water. We can't always trust a player when it comes to them reporting their injury, but so far for owners it looks like good news - we'll continue to monitor.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (ribs) and Deebo Samuel (calf) are questionable for Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Both are expected to play.

Keep an extra player available in case either were to miss.
