San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was originally expected to miss two games with a calf strain. However, after sitting out just one game, he returned to practice this week and was listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the New England Patriots.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Samuel plans to report for the Week 4 game.

The 49ers, coming off two straight losses, will look to improve their 1-2 record heading into Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium.

Samuel spoke to reporters this week and confirmed that his initial recovery timeline was in line with the team’s expectations.

“I mean, that was the case,” Samuel said. “But I came back feeling pretty good and we went to training the last two days feeling good, so we’ll just see how it goes.”

Samuel’s return gives the 49ers’ offense a much-needed boost, still without running back Christian McCaffrey, who is recovering from Achilles tendonitis.

San Francisco selected Samuel out of South Carolina in the second round (No. 36 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has recorded 13 receptions for 164 yards in two games this season.
