49ers’ Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams could all play in Week 7 on ‘MNF,’ per report

Injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams played a key role in the 49ers suffering their first loss of the season this past Sunday in Cleveland. Fortunately for the 49ers, each of those three players will have a chance at being ready to play in Monday night’s upcoming game against the Vikings, according to NFL Media. 

None of the injuries to the three players are considered serious, according to the report. McCaffrey left Sunday’s game with an oblique injury, while Samuel and Williams suffered shoulder and ankle injuries during the loss to the Browns. 

To say that each player is a significant part of the 49ers’ offense would be a pretty big understatement. McCaffrey already has over 700 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Samuel is second on the 49ers in receiving yards and third in rushing. Williams, even at age 35, is considered arguably the NFL’s best left tackle. 

While they need each player to possibly win the Super Bowl, the 49ers have the depth to get by in the interim. Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell are capable fill ins for McCaffrey at running back. Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle are a formidable receiving duo. Lineman Jaylon Moore has made 30 career regular season appearances that includes five starts. 

San Francisco (5-1) will look to get back on track Monday against the 2-4 Vikings, who will be without injured star receiver Justin Jefferson.
