49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be in the building, but not on the field when his team takes the field Wednesday for their opening training camp practice.
Instead, Samuel will be on a side field going through conditioning during practice as his contract extension talks continue, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan who spoke with reporters Wednesday morning.
This doesn’t come as a huge surprise. General manager John Lynch on Tuesday said the club and Samuel’s camp were in the midst of “substantive talks,” and both he and Shanahan expressed optimism a deal will eventually get done. Lynch did say nothing is imminent on that front though.
