San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Deebo Samuel hopes to be on the football field with his teammates when they face the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday. The Niners listed Samuel as "questionable" for the Week 14 clash, and his status will be determined by how he progresses over the next couple of days.
Samuel missed this past weekend's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a groin strain. The third-year wideout did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday but got a good amount of work on Friday. After Friday's practice, he spoke with reporters and was asked how he felt.
"Feeling kinda good," Samuel answered. "Been working all week long, just playing it day by day, and that's what we're going to continue to do up until Sunday."
Samuel admits that missing the Week 13 game against the Seahawks was frustrating. He did not travel with his teammates and watched the game alone at home on television.
"Just being injured, period, is kind of frustrating, knowing what you bring to the team," Samuel shared.
The Seahawks won 30-23, ending the 49ers' three-game win streak. While it was frustrating for Samuel to watch, for the casual NFL fan, it was an exciting matchup that came down to the closing seconds of the game.
"Watching the game, it was probably one of the craziest games that I watched," Samuel admits. "Just sitting at home, I'm like, 'Alright, they turned the ball over. Alright, now we got to go down there and make a play.' ... It kind of felt like back and forth all game. But we've just got to put that behind us and just get ready for Sunday."
Samuel doesn't know the plan for this weekend. After Friday's practice, head coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers' medical staff would re-evaluate the wideout on Saturday.
"If they think he's good and don't feel like he'll reinjure it, then he'll be up on Sunday," Shanahan said.

Are the 49ers mending their relationship with WR Deebo Samuel?

Late Wednesday night, San Francisco 49ers fans sighed in relief as wide receiver Deebo Samuel reportedly followed the team on Instagram once again, which could be a sign that the relationship is getting back on track.
Samuel, who scrubbed his account of everything 49ers related on April 7th, which was around the time of his reported trade request, was not moved during the draft as the 49ers stayed firm with their decision despite fielding multiple offers for the star receiver.
Now, almost a month later, Samuel has re-followed the team, once again utilizing his power of social media to express his
Frank Gore has this high praise for 49ers WR Deebo Samuel
When Frank Gore speaks, San Francisco 49ers fans listen. The man is an icon in the hearts of The Faithful.

Gore voiced his opinion on Friday, responding to a tweet asking fans to name the best wide receiver in the NFL. Gore's answer? Deebo Samuel.
Not only did he call Samuel the best wide receiver, but he took it further, calling him the "best player all-around" in the NFL (h/t The Spun). That is some high praise from the future Hall
Albert Breer weighs in on Trey Lance doubts, Deebo Samuel situation with 49ers
There have been two major San Francisco 49ers storylines this offseason. The first was the quarterback situation and the transition from Jimmy Garoppolo to Trey Lance. Then, that was overshadowed by the Deebo Samuel drama that culminated in the wide receiver requesting a trade—and then being denied.
On Monday, Albert Breer of MMQB joined The Rich Eisen Show and shared what he had heard about both storylines, starting with Samuel and the 49ers' strong desire to mend the broken relationship.
"The messaging coming out of there is how badly [the 49ers] want him back and how important he is to their team," Breer told Eisen.
Samuel was an essential factor in the team's success last season, amassing 1,770 all-purpose yards and 14 total touchdowns for
