After missing yesterday’s training because of a left shoulder problem in the past week’s victory vs. the Green Bay Packers, Deebo was a limited participant in today’s session. That’s very optimistic, given that Thursday’s training is always the most important for San Francisco.

“It’s great,” RB Christian McCaffrey shared. “Anytime Samuel is out there, he brings an extra set of juice to the team that can’t happen without him.”

Deebo trained as he normally would during the portion of practice open for the reporters, stretching and later catching passes from 49ers QB Brock Purdy during receiver and RB drills.

If Samuel was dealing with any pain, it wasn’t seen during that time.

TE George Kittle claimed that Deebo is always phenomenal and that he is excited that he returned to training.
