The 49ers will have to wait at least one more week for wide receiver Deebo Samuel to return. He was among the players ruled out for San Francisco ahead of their showdown with the Raiders in Las Vegas on Sunday.
This will be the third game in a row Samuel has missed since hurting his knee and ankle on an awkward tackle in Week 14 against the Buccaneers. While his absence isn’t good news in a vacuum, there’s optimism about his availability for Week 18. He returned to practice Thursday and got limited sessions in both Thursday and Friday.
