"I am ready to go," Samuel declared last week, indicating the receiver expected to play in the 49ers' Week 10 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He was on the field for Monday's bonus practice session with the team coming off its bye week.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism that tackle Trent Williams would also return to practice this week. While Williams was not present on the field during Monday's session, there are still three more practices scheduled for the week.
Williams suffered a low-ankle sprain in that same game against the Browns but fought through the pain to finish that contest. However, this injury has kept the veteran offensive lineman inactive for the past two games, and he has yet to resume practice.
ESPN's Nick Wagoner notes other players missing from the Monday session. They are guard Aaron Banks, who is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a turf toe injury, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud.
On Monday, the 49ers took a step forward by opening the practice windows for three players—defensive lineman Robert Beal Jr. (injured reserve list), cornerback Darrell Luter Jr. (physically unable to perform list), and cornerback Samuel Womack (injured reserve list).
The 49ers also reportedly worked out several players.
