The 49ers activated Samuel (foot) from the active/non-football injury list Saturday.
With the move official, Samuel can continue his quest to play Week 1 following more than two months spent in recovery mode due to a Jones fracture in his left foot. Along the way, he was spotted running sprints on the side during an Aug. 26 session and may return to the practice field in the lead-up to the season opener Sept. 13 versus the Cardinals.
