Deebo Samuel hospitalized with pneumonia as 49ers' injury nightmare deepens
Add Deebo Samuel to the list as the decimation of San Francisco’s locker room continues.
The star wideout has been hospitalized with a “pneumonia-like illness,” according to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Samuel, who has 20 receptions for 335 yards and two touchdowns on the season, first began dealing with symptoms on Sunday morning in the hours leading up to San Francisco’s Week 7 showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
A game-time decision, the wide receiver ultimately decided to suit up but took himself out of the contest after only three offensive snaps. Before the end of the second quarter, Samuel was seen heading to the locker room accompanied by a 49ers trainer.
As Shanahan would later reveal, the All Pro wideout was struggling to breathe. Now hospitalized, the coach confirmed Samuel has fluid in his lungs.
