The San Francisco 49ers offense is set to welcome back two of its biggest offensive playmakers in wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. and tight end George Kittle. Kittle was given the green light to suit up on Friday after completing three-straight days of practice while Samuel Sr. returned to practice on Thursday in a limited capacity. Initially, Samuel Sr. was expected to be sidelined for a couple weeks with the calf strain he sustained against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, but he will complete the comeback ahead of schedule.
A couple other players who were dealing with minor injuries towards the end of the practice week - tackle Trent Williams (toe) and defensive lineman Jordan Elliott (foot) - were also cleared to play in Week 4 after being labeled as questionable headed into the weekend.
49ers Inactives vs. Patriots:
- QB Joshua Dobbs
- OL Ben Bartch
- CB Darrell Luter Jr.
- WR Ronnie Bell
