Goes for big gain Samuel caught one of two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 preseason win over the Raiders.

Impact Samuel connected with starter Jimmy Garoppolo for a long strike down the middle on San Francisco's second drive. The team's top wideout will now turn his attention toward Week 1's matchup against the Lions, when teammate Brandon Aiyuk's slight hamstring issue could be worthwhile to monitor in relation to Samuel's stock.

Suits up Sunday Samuel (glute) started and caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 15-10 preseason win over the Chargers.

Impact Samuel was dealing with glute tightness following Friday's joint practice with these same Chargers, but his prompt return to the field should alleviate any concern regarding the injury. Health should be the main focus for the 25-year-old after suffering through multiple lower-body injuries that diminished his 2020 campaign. Expect Samuel to get one more appearance this preseason when the 49ers take on their regional rival in the Raiders on Sunday.

Likely to play Sunday Samuel (glute) is expected to play in Sunday's preseason game at the Chargers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact There was some question about whether Samuel would be able to suit up just two days removed from exiting Friday's joint practice with the Chargers due to a "tight glute." But he'll buck the odds and likely be available for Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance alongside fellow wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Mohamed Sanu.

Picks up 'glute' injury Coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel was removed from Friday's joint practice with the Chargers due to a "tight glute," David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 49ers are awaiting the results of an MRI, which will determine the extent of the injury and how much time, if any, Samuel will miss. Considering he picked up the issue two days before the team's second preseason game Sunday at the Chargers, he may be a candidate to sit out with his health as of Week 1 in mind. In any case, Shanahan likely will have an update on Samuel in the near future.

Exits practice early Samuel left Friday's practice early, returning to the sideline as an observer after meeting with a member of the training staff, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It doesn't sound serious and could be nothing more than cramps. Still, there's a chance Samuel is held out of Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers, especially given his injury struggles last year.

Practicing Wednesday Samuel (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Samuel was limited to side work during Tuesday's practice, as he was dealing with some muscle tightness, but his return to the field Wednesday indicates that the issue was minor. Assuming his health/availability, Samuel is being counted on to be a key target in the 49ers' passing game in 2021 alongside fellow wideout Brandon Aiyuk and star tight end George Kittle.

Bothered by muscle tightness Samuel is dealing with muscle tightness and was limited to side work during Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Durability has been a major concern for Samuel through two pro seasons, with the most recent issue being a hamstring injury that cost him the final three weeks of 2020. He returned healthy for the offseason program and is locked in alongside WR Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle as a crucial component of the San Francisco passing game. Samuel's medical history may not be ideal, but coach Kyle Shanahan suggested the current injury is minor.

Building chemistry with Trey Lance Samuel has been working out in Southern California with rookie quarterback Trey Lance since the 49ers' offseason program concluded earlier this month, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Ba...

Impact Samuel seems to be enjoying a healthy offseason, unlike last summer when he suffered a Jones fracture in mid-June. He missed the first three weeks of the regular season, then later missed six more games while dealing with hamstring injuries and a stint on the COVID-19 list. In the seven games he played, Samuel averaged 4.7 receptions for 55.9 yards and 1.1 carries for 3.7 yards, with his average of 12.1 yards after catch per reception leading all qualified pass catchers. He largely made his living on quick passes and pseudo-handoffs, but there is some hope to add more intermediate or even deep work, especially if Lance ends up being a better downfield passer than incumbent Jimmy Garoppolo. The 49ers seemingly intend to start the veteran Week 1, though the outlook could change in a hurry if Lance is impressive at training camp.
