Deebo Samuel Sr.

Kyle Shanahan said he is hopeful Deebo Samuel (illness) can play in Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Samuel was active for Week 7 but barely played because of the illness, which was later revealed to be pneumonia. Deebo was hospitalized after the game and was released on Tuesday. He did not practice today but was at the 49ers’ facility in good spirits. Even if Samuel is held out of the 49ers’ Sunday Night Football matchup with Dallas, he should have no issue returning to the field after Sann Francisco’s Week 9 bye.
