Deebo Samuel dealing with pneumonia
No timeline for his return

49ers WR Deebo Samuel has been hospitalized due to pneumonia and fluid in his lungs. There is no timeline for his return. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)

FFToday's Take: It is anyone's guess as to whether Samuel felt ill before the game, but it would seem likely since he only played four snaps in Week 7. That is a problem considering pneumonia is contagious, so we might be reading about other 49ers coming down with it in the coming days or weeks. At any rate, Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing will likely be needed for important roles in Week 8 with Samuel likely out and moving forward after Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was lost for the year over the weekend.
