Deebo Samuel returned to 49ers practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity after missing three games with a hamstring injury. He had not taken part in team drills since October 9.
Samuel’s absence came after he suffered the injury early in the season. Before the setback, he recorded 16 catches for 206 yards and three touchdowns in five games. His limited participation in practice signals progress but stops short of confirming his availability for the next game.
The 49ers also faced several other absences and injury restrictions during Wednesday’s session. Wide receiver Mike Evans did not practice due to an Achilles injury, while cornerback Renardo Green sat out with a back issue. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw, cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, running back Christian McCaffrey, and left tackle Trent Williams were all held out for rest.
Several players took part on a limited basis. Safety Siran Neal dealt with knee and foot problems, cornerback Upton Stout was limited by shoulder and neck concerns, and defensive tackle C.J. West worked in a restricted role because of a knee injury.
Samuel’s return will be closely monitored as the 49ers prepare for their upcoming fixtures. His presence on the field has been significant for San Francisco’s offense this season, and the team will weigh his readiness carefully given the recent string of injuries affecting key personnel.
