“Deebo, his ankle and knee are making real good progress, still working his way back.” After sustaining what initially appeared to be a season-ending injury, Deebo Samuel's return to the field for the 49ers is drawing closer.
“He checked out great yesterday and today,” Shanahan said. “I think he ended up getting 16 total plays. it was a successful game and even more successful since he looked good today.”
Kinlaw was on the field early in Saturday’s game and quickly registered a tackle of Commanders running back Brian Robinson on the second play from scrimmage. The former first-round draft pick also made a key block on the 49ers' goal-line stand, allowing linebacker Fred Warner and defensive tackle T.Y. McGill to get to Robinson before he could reach the end zone.
“I thought he did a good job,” Shanahan said of Kinlaw. “I think the more he plays, the more we'll be able to keep him out there longer. That fourth-and-1 down on the goal line, I thought he made a real big play there taking on the double team, taking two blockers, allowing Fred and T.Y. to make that play. Rookie quarterback Brock Purdy continues to feel better after he sustained rib and oblique injuries in that Week 14 win.
The 49ers could enter their final two regular-season games with added depth at multiple positions, which should help San Francisco a great deal in the playoffs.
