San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tackle Trent Williams were listed as "questionable" for this afternoon's game against the Miami Dolphins. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Samuel plans to play. The receiver has been dealing with a quad injury this past week. He was a limited practice participant on Wednesday and Friday. Samuel did not practice at all on Thursday.
Barring any pre-game setbacks, Samuel will be on the field with his teammates against the Dolphins.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a deep thigh bruise, plans to play vs. Miami, per source. The 49ers didn't think Samuel would be able to play until Friday, but he has made big improvements and, barring a pre-game setback, he plans to go today.

On Friday, Williams left the practice field after team warmups due to back spasms.
"I'm not too concerned about it," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters after Friday's practice. "I asked [offensive line coach] Chris [Foerster] if he was all right. He said, 'It's just big-guy problems.'"
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Williams should also be on the field with his teammates.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins are preparing to start Greg Little and Brandon Shell at their tackle positions, with right tackle Austin Jackson ruled out and Terron Armstead unlikely to play. Little, Shell, and the Miami offensive line will go up against Nick Bosa and a 49ers defensive line that is getting Arik Armstead back.
The other 49ers players who were listed as "questionable" against the Dolphins are guard Spencer Burford (ankle) and defensive end Charles Omenihu (knee). The teams will release their lists of inactive players about 90 minutes before kickoff.
