San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Samuel was questionable to play in the NFC Championship Game after he suffered a shoulder injury during the divisional round against the Green Bay Packers.
The injury during the divisional round was scary, but Samuel avoided a fracture, which was good news for head coach Kyle Shanahan:
"It wasn't broken, so that was a really good sign," Shanahan said, via CBS Sports. "It's still hurting too much for us to have any idea on how it's going to heal up this week. We have to be patient, see how he feels on Wednesday and based on his improvement it will give us a better idea whether he has a chance for the game or not."

Having Samuel be able to play in the Super Bowl is massive for the San Francisco 49ers as offensive tackle Trent Williams says the wide receiver is a key focal point of the offense.
“He’s lightning in a bottle,” Williams said, via The Athletic. “Any time he touches the ball, he can go to the crib. Don’t matter if it’s preseason or Super Bowl. Any game. In any game, you’ve got 19 and you can get him the ball, most likely he’s gon’ make something happen.”
Samuel recorded 60 receptions for 892 yards and seven touchdowns, while also rushing for 225 yards and five touchdowns. In the NFC Championship Game, Samuel had 89 receiving yards and seven rushing yards.
