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.
49ers' RB Raheem Mostert (knee) and WR Deebo Samuel (illness), both listed as questionable for today's game against the Dolphins, both "should be good (to play)", per source.
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.

ESPN predicts 'perfect trade outcome' for 49ers WR Deebo Samuel
By David Bonilla
Feb 28
There's no scenario in which trading wide receiver Deebo Samuel results in a "perfect" outcome for the San Francisco 49ers. Any trade before June 1 would trigger a significant salary cap hit, making it far more cost-effective to keep the disgruntled receiver for the final year...
