Deebo Samuel Set to Make His Comeback in the 49ers vs Patriots Game

In the forthcoming Sunday face-off between the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots, all eyes are on wide receiver Deebo Samuel. A reliable source has confirmed that Samuel is likely to return to the field following his absence in the recent game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a calf injury.

Previous Game Absence and Recovery

The 49ers faced a disappointing loss to the Rams last weekend, and Samuel’s absence due to his calf injury was distinctly felt. Despite being a game down, the 49ers’ spirits are high as Samuel is back on the training field, albeit in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday, following a no-practice Wednesday. His official status remains questionable for the upcoming game against the Patriots.

Samuel shared his optimism about his recovery status, “I returned to the field feeling quite upbeat, and after practicing for the past two days, the good feeling persists. We’ll just have to wait and see how it pans out.”

Injury History and Coach’s Response

Samuel’s calf injury occurred during a Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. This led to 49ers’ coach, Kyle Shanahan, suggesting that Samuel might need to sit out for “a couple of weeks.” However, Shanahan is content with Samuel’s progress this week, offering him an opportunity to play against the Patriots.

“I believe I’m on the right track, considering the advice I received and the timeline that was set,” Samuel asserted on Friday.

Team Updates

In addition to Samuel’s potential return, the 49ers look forward to welcoming back tight end George Kittle, who was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. However, the status of their left tackle Trent Williams remains uncertain as he struggles with a sore toe.
