49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is currently hospitalized due to pneumonia, as confirmed by head coach Kyle Shanahan. Samuel attempted to play in the Week 7 game against the Chiefs but was limited to just four snaps. With uncertainty surrounding his return, the 49ers may rely on rookie wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing in the upcoming game against the Cowboys, especially with Brandon Aiyuk out for the season and Jauan Jennings dealing with a hip injury.

• Deebo Samuel's health is a concern for the 49ers as they face injury challenges in their receiving corps.
• Rookie wide receivers may have to step up significantly in the absence of key players.
