It sounds like San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be back in action sooner than expected.
NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported Saturday evening that Samuel is planning to play against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Samuel strained his calf late in the 49ers' Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He was quickly ruled out for Week 3, and head coach Kyle Shanahan initially indicated the wide receiver would miss a couple weeks.
It was a small surprise that Samuel returned to practice Thursday ahead of Week 4. He practiced again Friday and was officially listed as questionable.
