Perhaps that's one reason we saw Deebo Samuel back deep on two punts Thursday night. Samuel is already listed as the No. 1 kick returner, but he's never returned a punt in his NFL career.

Samuel may shift to punt return duty if specialists don't prove themselves.

Deebo Samuel is listed as the No. 1 kick returner and was seen back deep on two punts Thursday night; he's never returned a punt in his NFL career but may become the 49ers' punt returner if Jacob Cowing or Jordan Watkins don't prove to be difference-makers on special teams.
