From the article

While Cowing has 28 more punt returns in his career, it was Deebo Samuel who got the first chance at punt return duties on Thursday. However, Samuel didn't get a chance to showcase his return skills as he let his first chance bounce and then waved for a fair catch on his second... And nobody looked more excited for Cowing than Deebo, who might have just been showing some relief of one less responsibility on his plate.

Samuel's punt return duties went to Cowing after unsuccessful attempts.

Samuel was given the first opportunity at punt return duties on Thursday but did not showcase his return skills, letting his first chance bounce and waving for a fair catch on his second. Kyle Shanahan then gave Jacob Cowing the opportunity, which Cowing converted into an 83-yard touchdown. Samuel appeared relieved to have one less responsibility on his plate, suggesting the punt return role may not be a regular season fixture for him.
