49ers injured receiver posts hype video of recovery with Raiders on tap
Deebo Samuel has posted a video of himself training at the 49ers’ practice facility, raising the possibility that he could return against the Raiders on Sunday. His availability matters as San Francisco’s receiver group is dealing with several injuries.
Samuel has been out since injuring his hamstring in Week 5 against Seattle. Before the injury, he had 16 catches for 206 yards and three touchdowns, plus 78 rushing yards; Mike Evans may also miss a second straight game, while De’Zhaun Stribling, Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk are unavailable. The 49ers are expected to decide on Samuel’s status later this week.
In short
- Deebo Samuel has resumed workouts at the 49ers’ facility.
- He has been sidelined since a Week 5 hamstring injury.
- San Francisco may need him amid multiple receiver injuries.
