Deemed questionable Samuel (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel did everything at Friday's practice, but given that it was a half-speed session the wideout was listed as a limited participant. A game-time decision is one of the possibilities ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, though it's also possible additional updates provide clarity before then. With RB Elijah Mitchell (knee/concussion) already ruled out, Samuel should get both carries and targets if he's able to play.

Rejoins practice Samuel (groin) is on the field for Friday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact While the extent of his participation remains to be seen, a return to practice Friday represents progress for Samuel after an absence from last week's loss to Seattle and missed practices this Wednesday and Thursday. Initial reports suggested he'd miss one or two games due to a groin strain, so it won't be too surprising if he makes it back for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Remains out of practice Samuel (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact After relaying Samuel wouldn't practice Wednesday, coach Kyle Shanahan stated his hope that the wide receiver would get back into drills Thursday. Samuel seemed to be poised to do so when he was seen in uniform with his helmet on a side field during the media-access portion of the session, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Instead, Samuel logged another absence. Friday's practice report will be key to helping his case to miss just one game as a result of a groin strain.

Not practicing Wednesday Samuel (groin) won't practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Impact Samuel didn't practice last week and missed Sunday's loss in Seattle, with head coach Kyle Shanahan having since labeled the 25-year-old wideout as day-to-day. Reports last week suggested Samuel likely would only miss a game or two, and Shanahan said Wednesday that he's hopeful the standout receiver can return to practice Thursday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. If Samuel is able to get back on the field in some capacity, he would stand a decent chance at being available for a Week 14 matchup with the Bengals.

Considered 'day-to-day' Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Samuel is "day-to-day," and he hopes the wide receiver will be able to suit up for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercu...
Impact Samuel has missed one game due to the groin strain he picked up Week 12 against the Vikings. His next appearance on the practice field will be his first since he suffered the injury, and it's unclear if that'll happen Wednesday, as Shanahan told Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site that it's "still too early to tell" regarding Samuel's status for Week 14. As a result, Samuel's listing on 49ers injury reports will be something to monitor as the week goes on. Without Samuel in the lineup this past Sunday at Seattle, Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Sherfield led San Francisco in playing time at wide receiver, while Jauan Jennings and Travis Benjamin mixed in behind the pair.

Officially ruled out Samuel (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Seattle.
Impact While Samuel didn't practice this week, reporters saw him working on a side field with the training staff Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's still on track to miss only a game or two. There's no direct replacement for Samuel's unique, oft-changing role, but in terms of snaps, Jauan Jennings and Trent Sherfield are the most likely beneficiaries, while Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle also get larger target-share projections. Samuel will try to make it back for either Week 14 against the Bengals or Week 15 against the Falcons.

Another DNP on Thursday Samuel (groin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Impact On a semi-positive note, though, Samuel was spotted working on the side with team trainers, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. While he's in line to miss at least one game as a result of the groin strain he suffered late in the 49ers' Week 12 win against the Vikings, Samuel may be further along in his recovery than expected. In any case, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Trent Sherfield and Travis Benjamin will be the 49ers' wide receivers for the time being, with River Cracraft and Connor Wedington eligible to be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest in Seattle.

No practice Wednesday Samuel (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Given that he's expected to miss 1-to-2 games due to a groin strain, Samuel likely won't practice in any fashion this week before the 49ers rule him out for Sunday's contest at Seattle. In his absence, the 49ers will rely on Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Trent Sherfield and Travis Benjamin at wide receiver, while River Cracraft and Connor Wedington are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad for game day.
