49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is expected to attend the start of the team’s mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Samuel’s decision to be present for minicamp comes after he missed voluntary organized team activities following a trade request made in April. The 2021 first-team All-Pro was reportedly unhappy with the way he was used in the offense last year, and he’s struggled to make headway in contract-extension negotiations with the 49ers.
Last week, 49ers general manager John Lynch made clear that the organization still had no plans to move on from Samuel before the start of the 2022 season and that the team was wholly committed to having him on the roster this fall.
