San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was hospitalized with pneumonia after playing just four snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that Samuel began feeling ill Saturday night and was sent to the hospital after the game. There is no set timeline for his return. The 49ers face the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday.
With Samuel in the hospital and Jauan Jennings dealing with a hip injury, the 49ers may be without their top receivers for the upcoming game. Brandon Aiyuk is already out for the season with a knee injury. Despite these challenges, the team must regroup and prepare for their next game after a tough loss to the Chiefs.
Samuel, the fourth-leading receiver for the 49ers, has put up solid numbers with 20 catches for 335 yards and one touchdown this season. Shanahan must now shuffle his lineup to fill the void left by Samuel’s absence and injuries to other key players. The team will need to regroup quickly to maintain their momentum as they navigate a challenging stretch of games ahead.
