The Facts: Matt Maiocco of NBCSportsBayArea.com reports that Samuel will be taken off the non-football injury list as the team sets its initial 53-man roster.
Diehards Line:Samuel has been recovering from a broken foot and he would be ineligible to play for six weeks if he remained on the list. Since that’s not the case, Samuel could play against Arizona in the season opener. HC Kyle Shanahan expressed hope this week that Samuel would be able to practice in the days leading up to Week 1 and the 49ers are keeping that door open for him.
