Deebo Samuel Practicing On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ankle, knee) was indeed practicing on Thursday. Samuel was seen doing a little dancing and also ran some routes. It doesn't mean he will return this Sunday to face the Las Vegas Raiders, but it's a great sign for his availability in the playoffs. Thursday is Samuel's first day practicing since he suffered knee and ankle injuries in Week 14. The 26-year-old will likely be listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday, but fantasy managers playing for a championship either this week or next shouldn't be holding out any hope that he'll suit up, let alone be productive. Even if Samuel were to play this weekend, the Niners would likely cap his snaps in order to make sure he doesn't suffer a setback.
