Deebo Samuel Sr.

Deebo Samuel (wrist/illness) is questionable for Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Samuel barely played in Week 7 and was hospitalized for pneumonia shortly after the game. He was released from the hospital a few days later and miraculously returned to practice on Thursday. Samuel appears to be on track to play this week, though the 49ers will likely take things down to the wire. If he’s ruled out, rookie wideout Jacob Cowing would likely step into a starting role, making him the backup option for fantasy managers counting on Deebo this week.
