San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel is expected to miss "a couple of weeks" due to a calf strain, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday.

If Samuel is only out for two weeks, putting him on injured reserve doesn't need to be a consideration. Players on injured reserve must miss a minimum of four games, under NFL rules.
