San Francisco 49ers hybrid wide receiver Deebo Samuel sustained a left ankle injury during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Santa Clara, Calif.

Samuel was injured after his leg bent awkwardly underneath him while being tackled on a 3-yard run, a play that finished with Tampa Bay recovering his fumble. Samuel attempted to get off the field under his own power before needing the assistance of a cart.

An emotional Samuel was in tears as he was taken from the field.

The 49ers announced Samuel was questionable to return to the game.

Samuel, 26, had four carries for 21 yards and a touchdown and four catches for 43 yards before leaving the game.
