Deebo Samuel A Limited Participant On Thursday

Deebo Samuel A Limited Participant On Thursday

10 months ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) is practicing in a limited fashion on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury. The 27-year-old picked up the ailment in the first quarter of the NFC Divisional-Round win over the Green Bay Packers after catching two passes for 24 yards. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to suit up on Sunday against the Detroit Lions with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, but his return to practice is a great first step in doing so. If he plays, he'll face a Detroit defense that surrendered the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers during the regular season. If he can't go, Brandon Aiyuk should be in for a monster game, while Jauan Jennings will likely be elevated to the No. 2 WR role.
