San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Deebo Samuel is less than two months removed from the
Jones fracture of the left foot suffered during a player-organized practice in Tennessee. He recently showed off his rehabilitation progress as he works on putting pressure on the injured leg.
It was initially estimated that the second-year receiver would require 12-16 weeks of recovery time. Samuel, however,
vowed to return in 10, and be ready for the start of the regular season.
The 49ers open the season against the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Stadium on September 13.
"Surgery went perfect,"
Samuel told fans via Instagram after the surgery to repair the damage. "I'm telling you all, in 10 weeks, it'll be a better Deebo than you have seen. I'm telling you, legendary."
Samuel caught 57 receptions for 802 receiving yards and three touchdowns through 15 regular-season games in 2019. He added 10 receptions for 127 yards through three playoff games, including a five-catch, 39-receiving-yard performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
