It sounds like the San Francisco 49ers offense will be close to full strength when it takes on the Miami Dolphins this afternoon.
Not only is quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) back in the lineup, but running back Raheem Mostert will be too, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The team's leading rusher from last season sustained an MCL sprain during Week 2 and, like Garoppolo, has missed the last two games.
Wide receiver
Deebo Samuel, who missed two practices this week due to an illness, was listed as "questionable" for today's game. He too is expected to be out there with his teammates as the 49ers seek their first home win of the season.
While Samuel's illness was not COVID-19-related, protocols required him to be away from the team facilities until he passed two tests for the highly-contagious virus. He was, however, able to virtually participate in team meetings.
Kickoff between the 49ers and Dolphins is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT.

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.

Malachi Corley welcomes opportunity to play with 49ers WRs
Malachi Corley has been likened to versatile San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel. What does Corley, the former Western Kentucky wide receiver, think about the prospect of joining Samuel and the rest of the 49ers' receiving corps?
It's a possibility. Corley is expected to be drafted in the second or third round this week and recently visited the team in Santa Clara. Could it be the 49ers calling his name?
"Put me out there with Deebo," Corley recently told Kay Adams on the "Up and Adams" show. "Deebo, left, Malachi, right, [Brandon] Aiyuk, [Christian] McCaffrey down the middle."

When asked about the possibility of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk not being on the San Francisco 49ers roster on Friday morning, general manager John Lynch responded, "I wouldn't anticipate that."
Lynch assured reporters that signing Aiyuk to a long-term extension is a priority, stating, "And our wish is that he's here and a part of the Niners for the rest of his career. We're working through that."
While Lynch didn't elaborate on the conversations occurring behind closed doors, Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that a potential trade remains a
