San Francisco will host two more practice sessions on Thursday and Friday before traveling to Green Bay. Barring any late setback or injury in practice, Samuel should suit up for the Week 12 game.

On Wednesday's episode of the "Cleats & Convos" podcast, Samuel discussed the 49ers' struggles this season.

"This year, for sure," Samuel said via NBCBayArea.com. "Me, personally, I want to be my best self as much as possible. As a whole, as a group, losing games that we aren’t supposed to lose. We put our backs against the wall at times.

"You just look at, from top to bottom, one of the best rosters in the league, and it gets frustrating because we know what we’re capable of. We got to finish games. We got to be the Niners that everybody knows that we are," he added.

Samuel appears determined to turn things around for San Francisco, but he'll need to start by improving his own numbers first.

How has 49ers WR Deebo Samuel performed this season?

Samuel has not lived up to the hype that many expected from him and the 49ers this season. San Francisco is joint-last in the NFC West with a 5-5 record and last season's Super Bowl runner-up is in danger of missing out on the playoffs entirely.

Samuel has recorded 490 yards and caught a touchdown on 33 receptions this season. He has also added 79 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries across nine games.

While there is still time for Samuel to earn redemption, he will hope to return to his best against Green Bay on Sunday.
