49ers bring back Deebo Samuel on one-year deal after prior trade
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers reinstated wide receiver Deebo Samuel on a one-year deal on July 31 after trading him to the Washington Commanders last offseason. These discussions regarding a reunion have reportedly been ongoing for weeks due to concerns around Ricky Pearsall's knee injury. Samuel, who had 72 receptions for 727 yards last season, returns to bolster a receiving corps that could face depth issues. His role is expected to be significant as the 49ers navigate the upcoming season.
