Deebo Samuel released from hospital after pneumonia treatment
Why it matters: Samuel's health condition raises concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys and adds to the injury woes of the 49ers' receiving corps.
What's new: Deebo Samuel was admitted to the hospital on Sunday night due to pneumonia and fluid in his lungs. He had been experiencing illness symptoms, including difficulty breathing and throat and stomach issues.
Yes, but: It remains uncertain whether Samuel will be able to play in the next game, as his recovery timeline is unclear. The 49ers may need to rely on other receivers to step up in his absence.
What to watch: The status of other injured or ill receivers on the team, including Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, and Chris Conley, will be crucial as the 49ers prepare for their upcoming matchup.
Kyle Shanahan on Deebo Samuel's illness: "I think it started acting up in the middle of the night Saturday night or early Sunday morning... Once we found out he had the fluid in his lungs and stuff after the game, then I believe they sent him over there."
The bottom line: The health of Deebo Samuel and the rest of the receiving corps will significantly impact the 49ers' offensive strategy and performance in the upcoming game against the Cowboys. The team will need to adapt and find suitable replacements if Samuel is unable to play.
