Source – Deebo Samuel of the 49ers is expected to play against the Patriots

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is expected to play on Sunday against the New England Patriots, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Samuel missed the 49ers’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams last weekend due to a calf injury.

Samuel had limited participation on Thursday and Friday after not practicing on Wednesday. He is officially considered questionable to play against the Pats.

“I came back feeling pretty good and we went to practice the last two days and still felt good,” Samuel said Friday. “So, we’ll just see how it goes.”

His calf injury occurred late in the Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, leading 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan to assume Samuel would miss “a couple of weeks.” But Shanahan was pleased with his progress this week, which gave Samuel a chance to play against the Patriots.

“I think with the information I’ve been given, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be and the time frame worked out pretty well,” Samuel said Friday.

The 49ers will also have tight end George Kittle (hamstring) back, but left tackle Trent Williams is listed as questionable because of a sore toe.
