Samuel returns to the practice field two days after returning to the 49ers on a one-year deal. He will be a player to continue to monitor throughout training camp heading into the season.

Deebo Samuel Sr. will not practice on Friday.

Samuel made his return to the 49ers on a one-year contract late Friday night. He should start practicing with the team soon.

Deebo Samuel is signing a 1-year deal worth up to $7 million with the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Samuel is back where it all began for him, returning to San Francisco following the news that Ricky Pearsall may miss a significant amount of the 2026 season. Samuel is coming off a season with 727 receiving yards and five touchdowns, and will add a dynamic aspect to a 49ers offense that added Mike Evans and Christian Kirk in the offseason.

Deebo Samuel says he feels like he has “three, four good years left” to play in the NFL as he searches for a new team this offseason, with former teammates making it known they want him returning to San Francisco.

Fantasy Impact

Samuel wasn’t what the Commanders hoped for last season, but it’s surprising that Samuel has seen so little interest from NFL teams. He likely finds himself joining a roster during training camp, once teams sort out their depth chart and what they have on their rosters and realize they need better depth.
