Deebo Samuel, 28, has been out of action since suffering a calf strain Week 2 agianst the Minnesota Vikings. Occurring late in the contest, Samuel would be added to the injury report the following day, missing Week 3 due to the ailment. An injury that was suppose to keep him on the shelf for a few games, the playmaker has recovered faster than the team anticipated.
“The best athletes seem to heal at a little better rate,” 49ers general manager John Lynch said Friday on KNBR. “The reason he’s on the field is because he hit all the markers.”
The South Carolina native was able to practice in limited capacity both Thursday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable for Week 4 as a result. However, the player seems determined to make his return, telling Bay Area media Friday that he expects to play.
