The San Francisco 49ers haven't enjoyed a victory while Deebo Samuel has been on the sideline, but the star wide receiver's absence looks set to come to an end in Week 10, at least according to the man himself.
Samuel was injured on the first play of the 49ers' Week 6 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was later revealed to have suffered a hairline fracture in his shoulder that kept him out of the defeats to the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals.
The 49ers are on a bye this week but Samuel indicated he would be playing this week were that not the case.
Asked about his health status on 'Up and Adams', Samuel simply replied: "I am ready to go."
The Niners face the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 10 and will be looking to improve to 6-3 after a damaging slump.
This season, the ultra-versatile has 397 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, and the 49ers will be desperate to get him back in the lineup because of the stress he and NFL rushing leader Christian McCaffrey put on defenses when they are both on the field.
San Francisco has won its previous four matchups with the Jaguars, the most recent being a 30-10 win in Jacksonville in 2021 in which Samuel had 94 scrimmage and a rushing touchdown.
