Deebo Samuel's tweet on Monday could've been the precursor for a crisis at the San Francisco 49ers. The wide receiver posted that he wasn't struggling in 2024, instead not having many touches. The now-deleted post quickly went viral.

However, it looks like the franchise decided not to extend the issues further, keeping discussions in-house. Coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about Samuel's post, and instead of burning bridges, he kept the situation calm, stating on Tuesday that it wasn't a problem and that he'll continue to work on touches for the wide receiver.
