Watching Deebo Samuel be carted off the field gave OBJ chills.
Injuries are one of the worst aspects of the game. Fans always hate to see them. The most recent victim of a horrific injury is Deebo Samuel, the wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers was carted off the field on Sunday afternoon with an ankle injury. The game ended with the 49ers dominating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, Deebo’s injury gave us a significant scare.
Deebo Samuel fumbled the ball after running for three yards. He was tackled by the Buccaneers’ defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and the wideout ended up rolling his left ankle and knee. He ended up landing underneath the defensive lineman’s thigh. Following this play, the wideout was in pain and lay on the field.
The wideout was eventually carted off the field and was holding on to his left knee. Samuel had 48 receiving yards on four catches, with 21 yards and a touchdown on the ground before he went down. The 49ers were up 21-0 at that point. While Deebo was ruled out with an ankle injury, his injury was not significant. He suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and sprained left ankle.
Odell Beckham Jr. got chills watching Deebo Samuel go down:
Deebo is expected to return at a later point this season. However, immediately after this injury, the NFL world was shocked and left speechless over this injury. Players took to social media to express their thoughts regarding Deebo’s injury and to wish him a speedy recovery.
One prominent player with experience of a similar injury is Odell Beckham Jr. who went down with a similar injury in the Super Bowl. Granted, OBJ had a torn ACL but the manner in which Samuel went down, did scare fans that he may have risked tearing his ACL as well. Following this injury, here’s what OBJ had to say.
Samuel went down with a horrific injury, and while the defense put him in that position, it was also the field on which they were playing. It was a turf field and recently; the players are getting more and more agitated and calling for the NFL to eliminate turf fields or find better alternatives, as turfs are relatively riskier to play on. They may be easy to maintain, but for a player, it is often a nightmare.
Hopefully, Deebo Samuel makes a speedy recovery. The NFL is more fun to watch with him playing on the weekends. He has become an integral part of the San Francisco 49ers offense and the team will miss him until he makes a return.
