Both wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle are anticipated to be available for the San Francisco 49ers’ Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys. Both players are expected to play even though their status on the team’s injury report is labeled as uncertain.
According to Adam Schefter on X, formerly Twitter, “49ers TE George Kittle is listed as questionable for Sunday night due to a sprained foot, but is expected to play vs. the Cowboys.” “Therefore, it is anticipated that the 49ers will start both Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel against Dallas.”
Samuel’s participation was doubtful because of a wrist injury and bronchitis, while Kittle has been coping with a sprained foot. After last week’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Samuel had a serious enough health scare to necessitate hospitalization. He returned to practice on a restricted level by Wednesday after being released from the hospital on Tuesday.
Samuel explained the severity of his situation by describing his symptoms. Samuel clarified, “I honestly couldn’t breathe, for real.” And it wasn’t until after the game that I truly realized what was amiss. It was frightening because you can’t take deep breaths and it’s actually rather difficult to breathe. So I’m just wondering, “What’s going on?” in the middle of that. After the game, we discovered what was wrong.
