From the article

Samuel's return is out of pure necessity and is a pivot from the 49ers' original plan for the offense... It sounds like even without the injuries to the 49ers receiver room, the team was interested in bringing back the wide back.

Samuel's return forced by receiver injuries, but team wanted him back anyway.

Samuel's return to San Francisco is driven by necessity rather than original plan; injuries to Ricky Pearsall (season-ending), Mike Evans, D'Zhaun Stribling, and Christian Kirk (calf) forced the 49ers to reunite with Samuel after his one season in Washington. However, Samuel indicated ongoing conversations with GM John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan suggest the team was interested in bringing him back regardless of the injury situation.
